1.The field of navigation includes four general categories: land navigation, marine navigation, aeronautic navigation, and space navigation.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.


2. It would have helped because it would have shown where to go from the school yard. The Compass would have shown you North and south of where you are standing. Also you can tell where u are by using a compass because all you have to do is follow the direction that you want to be in.

Chart makers and navigators both shared the skill of being able to read and design charts. when reading a chart it is almost like reading a map, you are able to tell where you are and what direction each place is on the chart. Also navigators read the longitude and latitude of the chart that the chart makers made. Each group of people showed significant amount of skill in charts made by others which often had long distances between the landmarks on the charts.

6. On long Voyages, estimating distance becomes more important than for short trips. Early open ocean navigators estimate the distance they had traveled by compasses and maps. the maps had shown the latitude and longitude of where they were and how far it was they had to travel. Also the compasses had shown them the way it was they wanted to go and they would just follow it from there.


RESEARCH QUESTIONS:

who exactly made the charts and maps of the ocean and how did they figure it out?

how is a compass relevant for hikers and boaters to use?


I think that modern navigators should learn the skill of detecting where they are without using a gps. I believe this because when people get lost they usually do not have the technology that u would have if you were lost. I think that navigators should be able to detect where they are especially because there job is to navigate and you should be able to know where it is you are going without technology.
