    I agree that a lexicon or glossary of terms would be useful. I know that we have had something along those lines in the past but unless the thread gets stickied then it gets lost in the forest of threads on the forum.

    The lines you are referring to are Rhumb lines on a Portolan Chart:

    This link has some but both rhumb and portolan are not amongst them:
