Peter, No, I can't agree with your post #11122. A navigator always knows something about where he is. The running fix ALWAYs assumes the navigator knows the perpendicular distance between LOP1 and the advanced LOP1 EXACTLY, and knows ABSOLUTELY NOTHING of his position parallel to LOP1's orientation. Under what situation does this occur?? Any newly acquired LOP, even of any orientation, should always improve position knowledge of lesser accuracy.
