From the simplest techniques to the most complex, the range
of technological sophistication used in human navigation is very
broad. Micronesian islanders still use simple stick charts to
navigate their islands and surrounding waters, while scientists
are using the world’s most sophisticated computers to navigate
spacecraft to Mars and beyond. Satellite technology and Global
Positioning Systems applications have almost completely changed
the science and instruments of most human navigation. Knowledge
of astronomy, geometry, and navigational mathematics has become
less necessary, and the instruments of the early explorers have
become museum pieces and collectors’ items.
Defined as the process of determining position and direction
using visual and temporal clues in the environment navigation
also refers to map-reading, or giving directions to a pilot or
driver of a ship, boat, automobile, airplane, or spacecraft.
In computing, the term is used to describe moving around a file
system or finding online information. Navigation methods include celestial, or
the observation of the sun, moon and stars; pilotage,
or using visible natural and artificial features such as lighthouses; dead
reckoning, or using compass and log to monitor progress
on a journey; waypoint navigation, or using electronic
equipment such as radio and satellite systems to follow a course; position-fixing,
or determining current position by visual and electronic means;
and collision-avoidance, which uses radar.
This guide presents works on all types of navigation, past and
present, and includes works that cover basic principles. It does
not include discussions of specific geographic locations, particular
bodies of water, or other planets, except for a few case studies
that illustrate broader concepts. Navigation is also location-finding
behavior used by many other animals, and some works on this related
topic are cited. This guide is not intended as a comprehensive
bibliography, but is designed -- as the name Tracer Bullet implies
-- to put the reader "on target," or, as in the case
of the navigator, to get you home.
