navigations
- 1Plural of navigation.
The explorer's navigations charted waters no European had crossed before.
Early Pacific navigations relied on stars, ocean currents, and the flight of birds.
Note
A plural that most meanings of navigation resist: the practice of charting a course, commercial shipping, and finding a way through software or a hard situation are all usually uncountable. The one meaning that counts naturally is a canal, so navigations can simply be man-made waterways. Elsewhere the plural marks separate voyages or acts of navigating, as in an explorer's navigations, rather than the craft itself.
