- This article concerns navigation in the sense of determination of position and direction on the surface of the Earth. See navigation (disambiguation) for other meanings.
The word navigation is derived from the Sanskrit word navgatih. There are several traditions of navigation. The art of navigation was born in the river Indus in India over six thousand years ago. In the pre-modern history of human migration and discovery of new lands by navigating the oceans, a few peoples have excelled as sea-faring explorers. Prominent examples are the Phoenicians, the Ancient Greeks, the Malays, the Persians, Arabians, the Norse and, perhaps more than any others, the peoples of the Pacific Ocean, particularly Polynesians and Micronesians.
