Dead Reckoning

  • Dead Reckoning is from ‘Ded Reckoning’ meaning ‘Deduced Reckoning’ which is the art of navigating from one position to another, based on an estimate of speed, heading and time, from the last known position or ‘fix’.
  • Although it is subject to innaccuracies, it serves as a very good rough guide in the absence of navigational instruments.
