Description:

Chartwork is used to plot a ship's progress in sight of land while navigation is a similar process used for ships out of sight of land. Chartwork applies basic geometric theories to a ship's course, speed, bearings and position lines. Navigation applies trigonomerty to observations of celestial bodies and also obtains position lines from electronic aids to determine a vessel's position.
