To respond to this statement, we summarize the following:
To solve this dilemmamany available computer programs only require the navigator to observe stars or planets and enter data to obtain the most likely observed positionthus, the solution can be summarized in that the navigators are trained to control and use the marine sextant.
Of course, the mathematical position of the ship can be obtained using the sailing map, or analytically using the following equations
d. Lat. = dist. Cos T.Co.
dep. = dist. Sin T.Co.
d. Long. = dep. / Cos (mean Lat.)
