why, when you look for a scheduled flight at flightaware.com, you get the flight route which is planned.......
... by dispatch, but when you compare then the north atlantic tracks (NXXWXX) from this flight plan to the real time NAT tracks which you can find online, they are not exactly the same? (i looked up the flight Northwest 58 from memphis to amsterdam, which leaves tonight, and there is written that the first waypoint over the atlantic is '47 north, 70 west', however, when you compare to the real time NAT tracks for tonight on https://www.notams.jcs.mil/common/nat.html you can see that non of these tracks begin with 47N070W... So how is that?

The flight plan is what is filed...the green track is the actual flight path (what the airplane flew). You can file Lat/Longs anytime you want, it does not need to be on the NAT's.

The one u look is the name of the way points in Dispatch FPL and 47 north or 70 west is the names these r not the coordinates u should not mix coordinates with way point names
