Navigation
Navigation is the process of planning and following a route to move from one location to another, relying on tools like maps, compasses, or digital systems to determine direction and position. In contemporary contexts, it has evolved to include satellite-based technologies like GPS, making it essential for everything from global shipping to everyday commuting.
