This page is to explain the differences between things like VOR VORTAC VOR-DME RDF ADF NDB etc with links towards wikipedia. This page should also start a new category named navigation that can be used to link related nav articles. Where possible I will gather stubs and include them. I realise there are links with other categories. I'll invent it as I go, wish me luck (and wisdom).

Standing blindfolded in the middle of a field. In a distance a friend is shouting "I am here!". You turn around till you hear the your friend best and start walking towards the sound. When there are two friends (with distinctive voices) and a map telling you where they stand you can even figure out about where you are on that map. This describes how a Non Directional Beacon ([[NDB]]) works.
