Summary

In this paper the investigation of the method of simultaneous determination of latitude, longitude and azimuth by horizontal directions at the sun, as described in [R. Roelofs, Simultaneous Determination of Latitude, Longitude and Azimuth by Horizontal Directions at the Sun], is continued and amended in some respects. The sun's altitude at observations is restricted between 15" and 60, a numerical adjustment applying different weights is assumed and in addition to the accuracy of the quantities mentioned, that of the Laplace quantity has been studied as well. The results obtained are represented in a number of diagrams.
