English term or phrase: dead reckoning
Definition from MarineWaypoints.com:
The process of plotting a theoretical position or future position based on advancing from a known position using speed, time, and course, without aid of objects on land, of sights, etc.

Example sentence(s):
  • Dead reckoning was the navigation method used by Columbus as revealed in a study of his log and his letters concerning his voyages. He constantly and meticulously recorded his every change of compass heading and the distance covered on that heading, which is a requirement for dead reckoning. millersville.edu
  • Of course, dead reckoning does not take into account the tide, so is of limited use in most North European waters. Sailtrain.co.uk
  • Once leeway and tide have been taken into account, the position by dead reckoning can be converted to an Estimated Position, as shown in diagram. asianyachting.com
