That's pretty much it. The first 3 bearings are taken at regular timed intervals from a stationary position. From this you can get a target's course, but not exact position or range. You need to move and then take a 4th bearing to triangulate.

I'm trying to figure out what the equation/formula would be on paper for estimating teh coruse based on the first three bearings.
