Proposed new navigational and mapping techniques could be of interest when using unmanned vehicles in the exploration of planets within the solar system. Recently developed techniques make use of landmarks whose coordinates are unknown but within sight of the surface vehicle. The techniques described in the present paper still make use of landmarks whose positions are unknown; however, they offer the added features of (1) travel and mapping beyond the original landmarks by discarding them and choosing new ones, (2) the determination of ranges relative to a selected range at the original starting point, (3) the determination of the direction back to the original starting point or any other previously travelled point, and (4) travel and mapping regardless of whether an angle reference is available.
