NAVFIX function and use?

I went through the product help and couldn't understand the use of NAVFIX and usage in a code. Can anyone help me out with the same. If "navfix" could be successfully used to locate the point of intersection of lines in mapping application, can this be used for other engineering applications? Also assist me with the proper syntax of use with an example. Thank you in advance.

I don’t have the Mapping Toolbox, but it seems like simple triangulation, although using geographical coordinates and units. If you have two points on a baseline and know the distance between the points and the angle from each to a third point with respect to the baseline, the Law of Cosines and Law of Sines will give you all the information you need. You only need to program them.
