Hello Hien,
Thank you for your interest. This method is fully explained and justified in my book, which contains a CD with ASTROLAB 3 executable programs.
"Navigation aux Astres et aux Satellites par la Méthode du Plan des Sommets", i.e. Navigation based on Stars & Satellites, via the Method of Coplanar Vertices, Marines Editions, Jan 2013, ISBN 978-2-35743-088-4.
It is in French; but slides, formulas and figures are explicit. Its bibliography grasps 250 references, including American ones .
You can buy it through Amazon. Let me know if you do it, I will send you a paper with a few errata.
BR, Yves
