# Navigation There are four main types of navigation.[^1] 1. **Vector navigation** is cue-based movement where you use rely upon external (magnetic, celestial, or environmental) to provide a constant bearing. 2. **Piloting** is [[landmark]]-based routing using familiar landmarks. 3. **True navigation** is wayfinding without reliance on familiar landmarks to an unseen destination. 4. **Dead reckoning** is [[path]]-based form of routing, in which you track and calculate your position, common among sailors before satellite navigation. It is also referred to as *path integration*. > [!cite]- Reference > ```dataview > TABLE WITHOUT ID > link(file.path, title) AS "Title", > type AS "Type", > keywords AS "Keywords" > FROM "50 Reference" > WHERE contains(keywords, this.file.link) > SORT type, title asc > ``` [^1]: [[oconnor2019WayfindingScienceMystery|Wayfinding: The Science and Mystery of How Humans Navigate the World by M.R.
