Navigation has been defined by the Oxford English Dictionary as the process or activity of navigating by planning and directing the route or course of a vessel such as a ship or aircraft.[1] Plotting the course is achieved by the use of instruments or maps. Navigation also refers to the passage of shipping along its chosen course. In Great Britain, the term is sometimes nominally applied to a canal or another navigable inland waterway.
