The 33 pages that link to Navigation, each with the reason it gives.

• GeodesicRelated: Great-circle geodesics give shortest surface routes on an ideal spherical Earth.

• CartographyRelated: Navigation has long required maps that support route finding and orientation.

• Ptolemaic systemRelated: Astronomical tables grounded in geocentric models supported practical celestial calculations.

• Right triangleRelated: Course and distance calculations often resolve movement into perpendicular components.

• TrigonometryRelated: Bearings and distances can be resolved into directional components with trigonometry.

• Angle bisectorRelated: Equal-angle directions can guide route layout and directional measurement.

• History of astronomyRelated: Celestial observations provided direction and position estimates before modern electronic navigation.

• Law of sinesRelated: Angle and baseline measurements can locate distant landmarks through triangle calculations.

• Water transportRelated: Navigation keeps vessels on course through changing waterways and weather.

• Directed angleRelated: Bearings and heading changes use oriented angular measurements.

• John DeeRelated: Dee argued that mathematical knowledge could improve English maritime navigation.

• History of trigonometryRelated: Angular measurements and tables helped mariners determine position and course.

• Léon FoucaultRelated: Gyroscopic instruments descended from Foucault’s work became valuable for maintaining orientation.

• Henry BriggsRelated: Logarithmic tables simplified the repeated calculations required to determine positions and courses at sea.
