Dear Tony,
If a scientific calculator with vector algebra is available, (addition and subtraction of vectors, dot, cross), one compact and easy way to solve navigational problems is described on my Website at the "papers" section: Vector equation of the Circle of Position
For the a fix, see the attached file "Vector SR.pdf", published in Vector Solution for the intersection of two Circles of Equal Altitude
Best regards,

As I said sometimes in NavList the problem of the intersecction of two CoPs was solve by Gauss, before Dowes, Bodenez, or Gery.
