For Great Circle and Rhumb Line runs, as well as Nautical Tables you can't go wrong with the Bowditch.
For the analytical solution of intercepts into a geographic position, read the following link:

Have fun!

For german readers this is the best book for astronomical navigation I found:

And this is very accurate pascal program for calculating nautical tables. I doubt it will fit into the HP-41 or WP-34S
