The link "Efficient Solution and Performance Analysis of 3-D Position Estimation by Trilateration" in the External Links section gives me a 404 error. daviddoria ( talk) 14:34, 12 February 2013 (UTC)
As of 30 May 2014 the link points to a file hoster that shows porn when cklicking the download button. The link should probably be removed.--

http://www.globmaritime.com/technical-articles/marine-navigation/general-concepts/9622-trilateration-traverse-and-vertical-surveying.html link (reference number 3) is dead, someone should replace it with something suitable. Alenrajsp ( talk) 12:31, 22 July 2016 (UTC)

I added material to several sections. One intent is to show that trilateration is not just an analytic geometry problem. Real-world navigation and surveillance systems use it as well. Before my edits, the article read like a college freshman calculus homework assignment.
Second comment: GPS is not based on trilateration; it's based on multilateration (as defined by Wikipedia). I deleted that incorrect material.
Third comment: The title trilateration is a poor choice. Perhaps it reflects an academic orientation? This point is better made on the Talk:Multilateration page by the first commentor. Re-titling this article would likely require that the current multilateration article be re-titled as well, and there appears to be little interest in doing that.
As a practicing engineer for decades, I never encountered the term trilateration. (What is DME/DME aircraft navigation: bilateration? trilateration, but not literal?) I'd prefer a title like True Range Multilateration or perhaps Circular Multilateration. Then the current article entitled Multilateration would become something like Pseudo Range Multilateration or Hyperbolic Multilateration. Disambiguation might be needed as well. But a poor title is less desirable.

For the reasons given above, I changed the page title from Trilateration to True Range Multilateration. Comments welcome. NavigationGuy ( talk) 15:16, 15 January 2019 (UTC)
In changing the name, I mistakenly created Category: True Range Multilation by mistake. Sorry. NavigationGuy ( talk) 13:53, 18 January 2019 (UTC)
Dear @ NavigationGuy:, I appreciate all your work in the disambiguation between pseudorange multilateration and true-range multilateration. I just wanted to suggest that we stick to common name policy, thus renaming the present article back to Trilateration -- while also leaving a very clear hatnote saying: This article is about "true-range multilateration"; it should not be confused with pseudorange multilateration. What would you think of this proposal? Thanks for your time. fgnievinski ( talk) 19:19, 10 September 2020 (UTC)
