electronic navigation - The use of eecho sounders, radio, various GPS electronic satellite, and land based position finders to determine a boat's location.
electronic navigation - Vessel piloting by automatic or manual electronic instruments; devices include: electronic compass, echo sounders, radar and position-finding systems (Decca, Loran-C, Omega, VOR and GPS satellite systems).
An electronic navigation instrument, using information from satellites, that computes and displays the boat's position and information about her course and speed made good. Satnav was the first of these systems. Differential GPS is the most accurate.
