Topics relating to tracking a vehicle's position, including satellite navigation systems and radar navigation

Subcategories

• Aircraft navigation - the process of monitoring and controlling the movement of an aircraft from one location to another
• Course correction - the adjustment of the movement of a vehicle in order to return it to its intended path
• Dead reckoning - the process of estimating a present position by projecting course and speed from a known past position or predicting a future position by projecting course and speed from a known present position
• Radar navigation - use of radar to determine the distance from or bearing of objects whose position is known
• Radio navigation - use of radio waves to determine position by either radio direction finding systems or hyperbolic systems
• Satellite navigation systems - systems of artificial earth satellites that provide autonomous geo-spatial positioning with global coverage
• Sonar navigation - the process of monitoring the movement of a vehicle by means of sound waves
