navigators
Chart the course
Navigators are people who direct the course of a vessel, aircraft, or journey.
The navigator plots routes, reads charts, and monitors position.
In rally racing, a navigator sits beside the driver, calling out upcoming turns.
The term extends to anyone who guides others through complex territory—a navigator of bureaucratic systems, a navigator helping patients through healthcare.
Browser software that helps users move through the internet may also be called a navigator.
