What is ezAlmanac Celestial Navigation? The ezAlmanac app is designed to help users perform celestial navigation with ease. It produces all Nautical Almanac (1961-2059) and Pub. 229 tables exactly as they are seen in the printed form. The app performs all the necessary steps to correct observations, find GP of the object, do the sight reduction, and plot the LOP. The app also allows users to print blank sight reduction and plotting forms and export sight data from the app.

3. Simply enter the basic sight parameters, make and enter your observations, and ezAlmanac will do the rest.
4. It performs all of the steps to correct your observation, find GP of the object, do the sight reduction, and plot the LOP.
5. In addition, when you export sight data from the app it is now displayed on the plotting and sight reduction forms to show you how it is done.
6. Since all calculations are performed in the software, ezAlmanac is fully functional with no dependency on the internet.
