Electronic Navigation
Electronic navigation refers to the use of electronic devices and systems to determine a vehicle's position and guide it to a destination. This technology includes tools like Global Positioning System (GPS) receivers, which use satellites to provide accurate location data, and Electronic Chart Display and Information Systems (ECDIS), which display navigational charts on screens.
These systems enhance safety and efficiency in various modes of transport, including aviation, maritime, and automotive. By integrating real-time data, electronic navigation helps users avoid obstacles, plan routes, and monitor conditions, making travel more reliable and precise.
