An examination is made of old and new navigation technology that considers most factors affecting this technology, including cost, accuracy, autonomy, time-delay, global coverage, and the human interface. The author reviews cartography and the navigation of land, ship, air, and space vehicles, concluding with a forecast of navigation in the twenty-first century. An extensive annotated bibliography is included.
