Parent topics
- Astronomy [r]: The study of objects and processes in the observable universe, e.g. stars, planets, comets or asteroids. [e]
- Geography [r]: Study of the surface of the Earth and the activities of humanity upon it. [e]
Related topics
- Compass [r]: A device which has the basic function of displaying a bearing for navigation. [e]
- Electronic Charting System [r]: Generic International Maritime Organization term for a marine navigation device that, at a minimum, links a display, computer-readable charts and a Global Navigation Satellite System [e]
- Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon [r]: Intended for search and rescue of ships and boats, this is a beacon that will float free of a sinking vessel, and broadcast a position report, preferably with GPS, to a worldwide cluster of monitoring satellites. [e]
- Global Maritime Distress and Safety System [r]: Mandated by the Safety of Life at Sea convention of the International Maritime Organization system of digital radio and other systems for ships to receive alerts and signal search and rescue organizations when they are in distress. [e]
- Global Navigation Satellite System [r]: A system which allows small electronic devices to determine their location (Longitude, Latitude, and Altitude) as well as time with an accuracy of up to a few centimetres using time signals transmitted along a line of sight by radio from satellites. [e] (GNSS)
- Global Positioning System [r]: Originally developed for U.S. military needs, a satellite-based system for obtaining precise position and time information; the most widely used part of the Global Navigation Satellite System [e] (GPS)
- Inertial navigation [r]: Navigation method that does not depend on external references, but computes the present position by sensing the movement of the navigating platform from a precisely known starting point in space, using accelerometers to sense position changes from a reference provided by gyroscopes [e]
- International Maritime Organization [r]: The United Nations agency responsible for avoiding pollution from ships, and implementing the Safety of Life at Sea convention [e]
- National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency [r]: A United States Department of Defense organization responsible for interpretation of imagery and geospatial intelligence, as well as geodesic surveys and mapmaking, including missile targeting reference data [e]
- Nautical mile [r]: Unit of distance approximately equal to one minute of arc of latitude, now defined as being exactly 1852 metres. [e]
- Physical map [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Royal Navy [r]: By long naval tradition, when there is no qualifier but "Royal", the navy being discussed is that of the United Kingdom. [e]
- Safety of Life at Sea [r]: International convention defining safety requirements for ships [e]
- Search and rescue transponder [r]: A device used by personnel in need of rescue, which assists in the final part of the search by interacting with search radar and guiding the rescuers to the victim [e]
- Sonar [r]: A contraction of sound navigation and ranging, formally includes the active mode in which a pulse goes out and a receiver measures the echo. Also includes hydrophones or passive, listen-only systems. [e]
- United States Coast Guard [r]: A uniformed service of the United States, with diverse maritime safety, search and rescue, law enforcement, and military responsibilities [e]
- United States Navy [r]: Branch of the U.S. armed forces] responsible for combat on, over, and under water. [e]
- Vessel monitoring system [r]: System used in commercial fishing to allow environmental and fisheries regulatory organizations to monitor, minimally, the position, time at a position, and course and speed of fishing vessels. [e]
- Northwest Passage [r]: Water route connecting the Atlantic and Pacific oceans north of the North American mainland. [e]
