Bearing Fix
Bearing Fix
One of the three methods of fixing your position manually. Take bearings of two or three features with a hand bearing compass. Key the readings into the table. Click on each feature in turn on the chart. The result is a fix. In this example, three features were used, and, as is usual, a 'cocked hat' has formed at the intersection of the three bearings. The fix is taken as the centre of the cocked hat. back
