Sažetak

The methods of determining a ship’s position in terrestrial
navigation by using vertical and horizontal angles are nowadays
rarely used. The reason is the relative complexity of the procedure
and the lack of accuracy of some methods. Different methods of
using horizontal and vertical angles to obtain the line of position
(LOP) will be presented in this paper, as well as the occurring
errors and recommendations for use. In this paper, the sextant
will be considered a basic instrument for measuring horizontal
and vertical angles. The sextant allows a very precise measuring
of angles from which very accurate lines of position can be
obtained.
