Body: <p>I am going to use a 2 channel hydrophone array during some boat surveys. I will be collecting GPS data as well and I heard that with the bearing and the change in location pamguard can estimate the distance to a sound source. How can this be done?</p>
  <p>Thank you in advance:)</p>

  I am going to use a 2 channel hydrophone array during some boat surveys. I will be collecting GPS data as well and I heard that with the bearing and the change in location pamguard can estimate the distance to a sound source. How can this be done?
