I was just wondering, suppose your current location is A and you know a point C is ym away, if you know move to point B and B is consequently only xm away from C, (given ym>xm) could you approximate the location of C using two radii?

What are ym and xm? – Andrew Tawfeek Sep 10 '17 at 23:03

Anyway, if you know where $A$ and $B$ are (on, say, a plane), and you know the distances of $C$ from both $A$ and $B$, then, yes, $C$ is one of the two intersection points of the appropriate circles centered at $A$ and $B$. – Gerry Myerson Sep 11 '17 at 03:03

Are you still here, Liam? – Gerry Myerson Sep 12 '17 at 07:23

Thank you seconding my assumption. I guess I'm going to stop using certain mobile applications then. – Liamedwards Sep 13 '17 at 08:47

ym and xm are the appropriate distances. – Liamedwards Sep 13 '17 at 08:49
