Keeping it all together to produce a sailplan makes it more than a list, and a lot like a batch file or a program. Once the information is written, it should be easy to reproduce and alter the route with all the data together. The key thing is to make it easy to write in way that can be edited to combine routes and splice in new destinations. 2M Navigation Assistant is for the professional navigator what the spreadsheet was to accountants. There are two aspects of 2M which make it different from most other waypoint programs.
All lines starting with an exclamation mark are command lines.
This allows 2M to accept a great variety of formats and makes cut and past editing straight forward. Second, 2M allows a rapid plot on a basic world mercator map at almost any scale and with good speed. This map can be printed but only on a graphics printer with a Windows driver. There is one item to a line and description is cut at 18 characters. 2M is therefore free to accept a wide range of formats for lat and lon.
