Navigation. A newcomer's guide

Издание на английском языке
We negotiate the motorways and rail systems using maps and signs. We have learnt to read the maps, follow the signs, look out for landmarks and study timetables. We estimate how long the journey will take, allowing for the distance and the average speed that we expect to travel, and then add on a bit because of possible delays. If it is somewhere we have not been before we read up about it and talk to friends for advice. This is navigation.
The aim of this book is to help transfer these skills of navigation from the land to the sea.
