This video is intended for maritime students taking Navigation about chartwork. It shows one of the position fixing techniques known as running fix.

Running Fix is a navigational method used to determine a vessel's position when only one line of position or LOP can be obtained at a time. This technique is commonly used when only one navigational aid is available and no other landmarks are available to take simultaneous bearings.

Dead Reckoning or DR position is an estimated position calculated based on the ship’s last known position, along with the course steered and the distance traveled over a given period.
