ABSTRACT

An attempt to determine the impact of developing polynomial on the accuracy of setting
down a ship’s position coordinates based on measurements of two bearings has been
ventured in this paper. A navigation structure consisting of two aids has been analysed.
A ship maneuvering within a given area was setting down her position in respect to them.
As a result of this, numeral accuracy indexes were calculated. They gave principles for
conclusions regarding the impact of the distance between the aids of navigation on the
accuracy of setting down the position’s coordinates.
