BA 5097 - Area: North Pacific Ocean Scale: 1:32000000 - Edition: 30/08/2018

Gnomonic charts are used in passage planning and projects all great circles as straight lines, showing the shortest route between the segment's two endpoints. This is achieved by casting surface points of the sphere onto a tangent plane, each landing where a ray from the center of the sphere passes through the point on the surface and then on to the plane.
