navigation: ... the faculty of knowing where you are in relationship to where you are going; a process of planning and undertaking a course to a destination by determining one's present position and location while being alert to distance traveled and often distance to be traveled. To navigate means following a course through an environment, such as across a body of water or on the land, while coping with obstructions so as to reach the destination as planned. To navigate online means working one's way through a computer network or the Web. For example, the pages of our (who we are) websites makeup an online network. You and other users navigate through three websites as well as many others to which The Network is linked in order to arrive at where resources of interest are located. Navigation is facilitated by links. Linked .network graphics and text elements, such as words and phrases, are useful tools for navigating as well as expanding informational content. related: file folder graphics; navigation buttons; navigation bar Examples of file folder graphics linked to help you navigate The Network: A file folder graphic is a type of graphical user interface (GUI).
