Institute of Navigation

The Institute of Navigation is a group of people who love maps and navigation. Do you know what navigation is? It's finding your way to a place you want to go.

Imagine you are going on a big adventure with your friends. You need to know how to find your way to your destination so you don't get lost. That's where maps and navigation come in. The Institute of Navigation helps make sure people have good maps and good ways to find their way around.

The people in this group are really smart and study different things like GPS, which is like a map that moves with you to show you where you are all the time. They also study compasses, which help you know which way is North, South, East, and West.

The Institute of Navigation has a lot of fun meetings where people share cool things they have learned about navigation. They also work together to make better maps and navigation tools that can help people on adventures or even people who work on big ships and need to find their way across the ocean.

So, in short, the Institute of Navigation helps make sure people have the tools they need to find their way to where they want to go. It's a group of really smart people who love maps and exploring!
