1. Definition of Navigation
What is Navigation? By Wikipedia
Navigation is a field of study that focuses on the process of monitoring
and controlling the movement of a craft or vehicle from one place to
another. The field of navigation includes four general categories: land
navigation, marine navigation, aeronautic navigation, and space
navigation.
It is also the term of art used for the specialized knowledge used by
navigators to perform navigation tasks. All navigational techniques
involve locating the navigator's position compared to known locations
or patterns.

2. Introduction of Navigation
Navigation is one of the oldest human activities, stone Age tools found in Crete
prove man sailed the sea at least 130,000 years ago [1];
Discovery: Archaeologists in Crete have found tools
they believe prove man sailed the sea tens of
thousands of years earlier than previously thought
Island: Crete has been separated from the mainland of Greece for about five million
years, so whoever made the tools must have travelled there by sea, a distance of at
least 40 miles

3. Navigation tools – old & new
Old Navigation Tool: Astrolabe;
- means ‘Star Taker’ in Greek;
- Around the 2nd century BC the
astrolabe was developed in ancient
Greece to determine the altitude of
objects in space [3].
- Locating and predicting the positions
of the sun, moon, planets and stars,
determining local time given local
latitude and vice-versa [2];

3. Navigation tools – old & new
New Navigation Tool: Global Positioning System, GPS;
- The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a satellitebased navigation system made up of a network of 24
satellites placed into orbit by the U.S. Department of
Defense.
- GPS was originally intended for military applications,
but in the 1980s, the government made the system
available for civilian use. GPS works in any weather
conditions, anywhere in the world, 24 hours a day.
There are no subscription fees or setup charges to
use GPS [4].

Multi-touch screen, new
benchmark for innovation in
integrated marine electronics;
pinch-to-zoom capability;
two-finger course rotation;
multi- and single-touch
gestures;
fingers touch the display, taps,
pinches and swipes become
actions and commands;

Two Finger Rotation
-
-
‘Two finger rotate’ event allows the user to
rotate an object using two fingers.
‘Two finger rotate’ gesture calculates the change
in orientation (rotation) of the touch points on
an object relative to the orientation of the stage
and adds the change to the previous value each
time the event is detected.
This value is used to incrementally change the
angle of orientation of an object.
typically used to rotate an object either
clockwise or counterclockwise.

Peepo GPS, two-part device
comprises of a handheld GPS unit,
which uses vocal commands to
register the destination and map it;
Second attaches to the guide dog’s
handle and gives subtle directions
via vibration zones;
L= Left, R= Right, F= Forward and up
on arriving the destination, the
zones simultaneously vibrate
