It's a nitpick, but it's trilateration and you're right that it is still trivial to do.

- daniel-cussen 5y agoI'm sure there's navigators who discovered California-sized lands (from the perspective of Europeans not of those who already lived there), that called it "triangulización" in Spanish. They triangulized, or triangulated. And it was cool the first time, with mountain peaks, and a very accurate compass, going on a hike and figuring out where you were on a map, without the whole satellite cakewalk. But all of that's a nitpick of a nitpick, you and the parent post are totally right. But like totally. You should all have read the last paragraph in this post first, what I said doesn't change things, it's trivial to get our positions.
