A navigator is the officer on a ship or a plane who plans the way. They must know where the craft is, which way it should go, and how to get from one place to another. On old ships this person used maps, clocks, and the stars. On a plane today, computers help a lot, but someone still has to own the route. It is a job word, a little formal. Though actually, many people now call the GPS box in a car a navigator too. That is a machine. This entry is about the person who does the planning.
