Ruler for making navigational computations

An extensive ruler used as a computer in navigation to calculate travel time between map points or to calculate ground speed is described. The ruler has a time scale that can be adjusted at length to equal map distances travelled at a designated speed in a time period such as sixty minutes. A means for fixing the length of the ruler is also provided.
