Thread: A geodetic task with a Garmin handheld

He-he-he, very well! Seems I am not the first one who knows how to achieve this simple triangulation task. I understood it before couple of days and thought it is really cool. Strange but no such function in the Garminz. And is really practical. Also the handheld needs to have an electronic compass.

Do I win a prize?

Yes, lets say a beer if we see each other some day.

Ok, so here are images depicting the explanation by babj615. Images are always better than words:

Maybe it is even better to be made more than two projection points so to be achived better accuracy of the crossed point.

In fact Giomen method is also applicable. But we need to take two land points at the same distance from the current position in a straight line. (determine their coordinates) We should also determine the angles to the point we want find its coordinates. Then simple calculation of the isosceles triangle needs to be perform. I will try to write it next time if someone don't do it first.

Good!
