An Algorithm for Position Determination Using Loran-C Triplets with a Basic Program for the Commodore 2001 Microcomputer.

Abstract

An algorithm for position determination using Loran-C triplets and an implementation of the algorithm in the BASIC language of the commodore 2001 microcomputer are presented. Modifications of the geodesic direct solution and reverse solution algorithms of P. D. Thomas are also presented; these modifications eliminate all the special positioning and quadrant determination requirements of the original algorithms. (Author)
