A number of errors in typesetting have been discovered in Tseng (Reference Tseng2014), for which the Editor-in-Chief of The Journal of Navigation and Cambridge University Press apologise.
The following corrections to Tseng (Reference Tseng2014) are made for Volume 67 Issue 5, Pages 825–844:
Page 827, in the line following Equation (5) replace $\tan \beta _V = \sqrt {1 - c^2 /c}\, $ with $\tan \beta _V = \sqrt {1 - c^2} /c$.

Page 832, Figure 6: units should be added (degree ° for β V and minute ′ for A.R.).
Page 832, in the line following Equation (20) replace symbol “u” with symbol “μ” in two expressions and replace expression (having wrong signs) β V⩽β⩽−β V with correction − β V⩽β i⩽β V, i=1,2.

Page 837, in Equation (41) replace the equation
$\tan \beta _V = \sqrt {\tan ^2 \beta _1 + \tan ^2 \beta _2 - 2\tan \beta _1 \tan \beta _2 \cos \lambda _{12} /\sin \lambda _{12}} $ with $\tan \beta _V = \sqrt {\tan ^2 \beta _1 + \tan ^2 \beta _2 - 2\tan \beta _1 \tan \beta _2 \cos \lambda _{12}} /\hskip-1pt\sin \lambda _{12} $
Page 837, in Equation (42) replace the equation
$c = \cos \beta _V = \sin \lambda _{12} /\sqrt {\tan ^2 \beta _1 + \tan ^2 \beta _2 - 2\tan \beta _1 \tan \beta _2 \cos \lambda _{12} + \sin \lambda _{12}} $ with $c = \cos \beta _V = \sin \lambda _{12} /\sqrt {\tan ^2 \beta _1 + \tan ^2 \beta _2 - 2\tan \beta _1 \tan \beta _2 \cos \lambda _{12} + \sin ^2 \lambda _{12}} $
Page 837, in Equation (43) replace the equation $\pi \sqrt {1 - e^2 \lt \lambda _{12} \leqslant \pi} $ with $\pi \sqrt {1 - e^2} \lt \lambda _{12} \leqslant \pi $.
Page 838, in second paragraph after Equation (47) replace “asteroid” with “astroid”.
Page 839, in third box from top in Figure 7 replace illogical expression |β 1 + β 2|< eps with |β 1|+|β 2|<eps.
Page 839, in fourth box from top in Figure 7 replace the expression
$\tan \beta _V = \tan ^{ - 1} \left(\displaystyle{{\sqrt {\tan ^2 \beta _1 + \tan ^2 \beta _2 - 2\tan \beta _1 \tan \beta _2 \cos \lambda _{12}}} \over {\sin \lambda _{12}}}\right)$ with
$\beta _V = \tan ^{ - 1} \left(\displaystyle{{\sqrt {\tan ^2 \beta _1 + \tan ^2 \beta _2 - 2\tan \beta _1 \tan \beta _2 \cos \lambda _{12}}} \over {\sin \lambda _{12}}}\right)$ and
replace NS = IIF (λ NS > 0,1,0) with NS = IIF (λ 12−λ NS > 0,1,0).
Page 840, in bottom paragraph replace the statement “The geodesic is slightly more curved than the great ellipse (see Figure 9).” with: “In the Mercator projection, the geodesic appears to be slightly more curved than the great ellipse (see Figure 9).”
Page 841, in Tables 1 and 2, column 1 replace typos “Karny” with “Karney”.
Page 843, in Reference Clairaut (1735) replace “perpendiculaireà” by “perpendiculaire à”.
