Note that you do not need to sign up for a google "gmail" account to become a member of this discussion group. Google merely hosts membership services for this group.

NavList and other google groups can be accessed via email, like any traditional "listserv" email-based group. Members may post messages to NavList by sending email to NavList@googlegroups.com.

In addition, there is a web-based "forum" interface here:

Members may post messages here. Non-members may post as well however messages from non-members will be reviewed before posting.

The general topic of NavList is: "Celestial Navigation, Traditional Marine Navigation, History of Navigation, GPS as it affects Traditional Navigation, Terrestrial Mapping and Exploration, Determination of Latitude and Longitude, and Positional Astronomy." Please use normal etiquette in deciding whether side-discussions are off-topic. If another NavList member complains that a discussion is off-topic, please consider taking it to private email. In general, any topic even remotely related to the primary topic will be welcomed by most members.

If you join the discussion by email, be advised that NavList permits message attachments, as long as they are relatively small. Please exercise reasonable etiquette when using attachments. They should be relevant, and they should be smaller than 250k when possible. If you have a larger attachment, please use the "Link" function on the forum at fer3.com/arc.
