Line 1: {{Merge to\|Snellius–Pothenot problem\|date=March 2016}} '''Resection''' is a method for determining an unknown position (position finding) measuring angles ~~(and distances)~~ with respect to known positions. Measurements can be made with a [[compass]] and [[topographic map]] (or [[nautical chart]])<ref>Mooers Jr., Robert L., ''Finding Your Way In The Outdoors'', Outdoor Life Press (1972), ISBN 0-943822-41-6, pp. 129–134</ref><ref>Kals, W.S., ''Practical Navigation'', New York: Doubleday & Co. (1972), ISBN 0-385-00246-7, pp. 43–49</ref> or with a [[total station]] and [[benchmarking (geolocating)\|benchmarks]]. ==Resection versus intersection==
