We use regular road maps to see where we want to go and then we use Microsoft streets and trips, old one and enter the start point, end point and let it run then tailor the trip to our liking and needs.
Thee sextant that I have is a A14 aircraft bubble sextant, it has a horizon option, sun shade and astigmatizer, it does not use a periscope nor does it have to be hanging, mine is in pristine condition and perfect working order.
The regular sextants that are used on ships, can be used on land with an artificial horizon (oil bath), the A14 uses the bubble as the horizon and the astigmatizper helps in colimating the suns image and the bubble.
I made the navigation 101 as a simple way to use a land map, there are those that do not know how to read a map, some times not even the GPS helps them.
As for the original question, I can not answer, I am old school maybe someone will write code for one, I will stick to my maps, pencil, magnetic compass, parallel ruler, pointy compasses (measuring and plotting) and my BUBBLE SEXTANT navigating those small back country roads I leave it to my awesome copilot, she is very, very good.
