The book follows human navigation from crude maps used by early explorers to satellite-based GPS, while discussing inventors and the evolution of tools.
Navigation is connected with geography, trade routes over land and sea, and the people who used navigational tools.
The guide includes fifteen hands-on projects and educational activities intended to extend understanding and build navigational confidence.
