Triangulate example for iBeacons

Question

I am looking into the possibility to use multiple iBeacons to do a \'rough\' indoor position location. The application is a kind of \'museum\' setting, and it would be easie

For those who need @Javier Chávarri trilateration function for Android devices (for saving some time):

public static Location getLocationWithTrilateration(Location beaconA, Location beaconB, Location beaconC, double distanceA, double distanceB, double distanceC){

    double bAlat = beaconA.getLatitude();
    double bAlong = beaconA.getLongitude();
    double bBlat = beaconB.getLatitude();
    double bBlong = beaconB.getLongitude();
    double bClat = beaconC.getLatitude();
    double bClong = beaconC.getLongitude();

    double W, Z, foundBeaconLat, foundBeaconLong, foundBeaconLongFilter;
    W = distanceA * distanceA - distanceB * distanceB - bAlat * bAlat - bAlong * bAlong + bBlat * bBlat + bBlong * bBlong;
    Z = distanceB * distanceB - distanceC * distanceC - bBlat * bBlat - bBlong * bBlong + bClat * bClat + bClong * bClong;

    foundBeaconLat = (W * (bClong - bBlong) - Z * (bBlong - bAlong)) / (2 * ((bBlat - bAlat) * (bClong - bBlong) - (bClat - bBlat) * (bBlong - bAlong)));
    foundBeaconLong = (W - 2 * foundBeaconLat * (bBlat - bAlat)) / (2 * (bBlong - bAlong));
    //`foundBeaconLongFilter` is a second measure of `foundBeaconLong` to mitigate errors
    foundBeaconLongFilter = (Z - 2 * foundBeaconLat * (bClat - bBlat)) / (2 * (bClong - bBlong));

    foundBeaconLong = (foundBeaconLong + foundBeaconLongFilter) / 2;

    Location foundLocation = new Location("Location");
        foundLocation.setLatitude(foundBeaconLat);
        foundLocation.setLongitude(foundBeaconLong);

    return foundLocation;
}
