I have found an intriguing example of triangulation from a 16th century mathematician, Willebrord Snellius(http://www.sailingissues.com/navcourse4.html). I have searched other web sources on the web and so far, have had no success in finding a straight forward explanation of how this method of triangulation works. Have any of you actually used the "Snellius Construction" technique, and could you help me understand it as a practical navigation application?
