HP-67 AND HP-97 CALCULATORS AS NAVIGATIONAL TOOLS

This paper first reviews what navigators were able to do with the HP-65 programmable calculator, touching on some of the things they found to be easy and some they found to be difficult. It will then discuss how the new HP-67 and HP-97 programmable calculators are able to alleviate at least some of the problems experienced by users of the earlier model.
