An air or ground navigational concept.

A position line is a bearing from some known location. Position lines do not fix your location exactly because they do not provide any information about your position on the line - you could be anywhere on it.

To navigate using only position lines, you require at minimum two.

Position lines are frequently obtained during aerial navigation from VOR transmitters.
