    I am surprised for the solution using Navigator.

    The algorithm officially adopted by the HM Royal Navy, UK, and the one implemented in the USA STELLA software gives the same solution, [NavList 5308]:
    B = 14º 10.8' N
    L = 145º 22.6' E
    For a Confidence Ellipse of level = 95%.
    The standard deviation of the estimated
    position, in nautical miles is:
    sigma = 4.8077 nm
    And the standard deviation in latitude and longitude is:
    sigmaB = 2.5272
    sigmaL = 4.5556
