Which navigational error grows as error accumulates in dead reckoning, despite a chronometer?

💡 Explanation

Estimated position error increase because course and speed errors introduce position offset, compounded by inaccuracies in estimating and applying current set and drift; this error propagation mechanism makes estimated position diverge, therefore a chronometer can establish longitude but not compensate for other errors rather than correcting course estimations.
