crossing


Explanation:
i.e. a crossing to a LOP
From wikipedia
"crossing lines of position or LOP"

http://ordnet.dk/ods/ordbog?select=Tværmærke&query=Tvær-mærk...

"Tvær-mærke, et. (, nu især fisk.) sømærke, der ses i en retning paa tværs af retningen til et andet sømærke (jf. Langmærke) ved bestemmelsen af et fartøjs ell. en fiskegrunds plads"

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Navigation

"Most other modern techniques rely on crossing lines of position or LOP.[4] A line of position can refer to two different things: a line on a chart and a line between the observer and an object in real life."
