Ok, thanks!

And I think we agree on the lack of practicality of the 4-bearing method. :]
I just find the exercise kinda fun. Also, it can be useful with the hydrophone, when the convoy is not in sight. That rarely happens in WP though.

By the way, I'm not saying it is simpler to do the 4-bearing method this way, I'm saying it's the simplest way I found to do it with variable time intervals.

Variable time intervals is a cool feature though, because it's more flexible. Here are some of the advantages from the top of my head:
- You can take your time to do an accurate bearing measurement (E.g. at a round angle value) and then note the exact time it was done, without the need to do it at a specific moment.
- You can also re-do any measurement if you find out it has been done at a bad position (E.g. close to a singularity) without having to ditch all the previous work.
