Solutions of Direct Geodetic Problem in Navigational Applications
1 Gdynia Maritime University, Gdynia, Poland
ABSTRACT: Solutions of such navigational problems as positions from ranges, bearings and courses without any simplifications for a plane or a sphere, by an application of solutions of direct geodetic problem are pre-sented. The rigorous, rapid, non-iterative solution of the direct geodetic problem according to Sodano, for any length of geodesics, is attached.
