Regional navigation
Regional navigation refers to the process of determining one's position and planning a route within a specific area, such as a city, coastline, or geographical region. It typically involves using maps, charts, GPS technology, and local landmarks to guide movement. Unlike global navigation, which covers vast distances between continents, regional navigation focuses on smaller, defined areas. It is crucial for activities like hiking, boating, or driving, helping individuals reach their destinations safely and efficiently by understanding local topography, road systems, and environmental features.
