The relentless growth of technology and explosion of information collecting/processing systems are a challenge to modern navigators. The outlook is for development of integrated and synergistic navigation systms which will result in quick, accurate determination of ship position. This paper investigates the effect of technology and the information revolution on navigation. Navigation in the past and now has involved paper charts with mostly manual methods. We are now experiencing growing capabilities to solve navigation problems quickly using automated methods and position ourselves with such systems as Omega and GPS. To cope with information overload, there is a need to integrate the information affecting ship operations using such diverse data elements as weather, fuel consumption rate, ship position, and track display of essential lhart features. The integrated navigation system, a subsystem in a comprehensive ship control system, will have to be capable of allowing the mariner to selectively handle the data mass available.
