Want this question answered?
Because on a globe, a great-circle route is the shortest route between two places.
Pi can be used to calculate the area of a circle Pi can be used to calculate the circumference of a circle
ford circle can be used for bridge making
trigonometry is often used to calculate distances from certain locations
A compass is used to make a perfect circle.
Great Circle routes are used because they are the shortest route between two points on the globe.

I don't know, HA
This imaginary line is called the great circle. A great circle is the shortest distance between two point on a sphere. On a flat map the great circle route takes the shape of the arc of a circle due to the projection method used to fit the path on the earth's sphere to a flat surface.
u should ask Jesus to answer this question!!
A great-circle route is the shortest distance between two points on a sphere, making it an efficient choice for navigation to save time and fuel. It follows the curvature of the Earth's surface, aligning with the natural shape of the planet for more direct travel paths. This route is commonly used in long-distance air and sea travel to optimize efficiency and reduce travel time.
No. A straight line on a mercator map is a path of constant bearing, but this will not generally be a great-circle route.
It is used to find out where places are and bring you to the right places. It finds the fastest route and also the shortest route. It is used to find out where places are and bring you to the right places. It finds the fastest route and also the shortest route.
Navigators use a Mercator projection chart to plot great circle routes. This chart allows them to draw a straight line, which represents the shortest distance between two points on a curved surface such as the Earth. By following this route, ships and planes can save time and fuel compared to following a rhumb line route.
no it is not used for navigation
Yes, you can purchase a navigation system that is handheld. Garmin makes a great one, you can find all the information here: http://www.grainger.com/Grainger/GARMIN-GPS-Navigation-System-3MNR1
Yes, This is the navigation. The G.P.S is a navigation device. Where is the navigation?
