A Position on Position, by Andy Norris, RIN
Position fixing is a critical task for any form of navigation, not least for those at sea. Modern technology has made the estimation and depiction of absolute position a very easy task for the human user. However, this has created a number of newer issues that perhaps not everybody is aware of. This presentation will take a revised look at the real requirements and issues of navigational positioning at sea, focussed on the cruising community.
Andy Norris is a specialist in maritime navigational matters, including its technology, good practice and related legislation. Although mainly concentrating in the professional sector, he is involved in cruising and is a member of his local yacht club. He is a fellow of the Royal Institute of Navigation and a past chair of its Technical Committee. Amongst other tasks, he currently represents the International Association of Institutes of Navigation at the International Maritime Organization. This is a joint event with the RIN.
