Scenarios about 'navigation systems'
Navigation systems encompass the technologies, methods, and tools developed throughout history to determine position, direction, and route planning across land, sea, and air. From ancient celestial navigation and compass-based wayfinding to modern GPS and satellite-based positioning, these systems have profoundly influenced exploration, trade routes, military strategy, and territorial claims. In alternate history scenarios, different trajectories in navigation technology development could significantly alter patterns of colonization, global power dynamics, and the timing of key historical discoveries.
