navigation training
Learning to navigate
Navigation training is instruction in finding one's way—whether by reading maps, using compasses, interpreting landmarks, or operating GPS systems.
The term applies across contexts: pilots learn celestial and instrument navigation, sailors study charts and currents, hikers practice orienteering, and drivers learn to use in-car systems.
