When you plot your TOWARD or AWAY distance, do you account for the change in distance between degrees of longitude? For instance, if you were plotting T or A of 10' east to west, do you plot it at the full 10 nautical miles or would you compensate for the narrowing of longitude lines away from the equator? Whereas when plotting T or A north to south you would plot 10' as 10 NM.
I have been using full values when the azimuth is within about 25 ° of E or W and compensating for greater angles. Not sure if it's helping or hurting or even makes a difference.
I hope the question makes sense, I've had a couple of glasses of wine. :)

I used to be a normal person, then I discovered how to locate myself on this planet using a star.
