Thanks!

Scooter,

Don't know if you tried this before you asked here, but there were like 10 pages of sites when I did a Google search. Some were free trials but if "prowl" through them, you may find one that suits your needs.

There's an "old school" E6B here via the UND Aerospace Foundation website. You will need to register for a free software account.

http://undaerospace.com/software_trainers.asp

Once you register and sign in, click on resources. There are links for both the front and back of an E6B. (It's not an electronic computer though, so you actually need to know how to use the thing).

It's free though!

THose of us in the old school used an E-6B to compute the wind triangle and navigate along with the driftmeter. Sometimes we used a sextant. Now I have four GPSs on my boat.
