A navigator is the person on board a ship or aircraft responsible for its navigation. The navigator's primary responsibility is to be aware of ship or aircraft position at all times. Responsibilities include planning the journey, advising the ship's captain or aircraft commander of estimated timing to destinations while en route, and ensuring hazards are avoided. The navigator is in charge of maintaining the aircraft or ship's nautical charts, nautical publications, and navigational equipment, and generally has responsibility for meteorological equipment and communications.
With the advent of GPS, the effort required to accurately determine one's position has decreased by orders of magnitude, so the entire experienced a revolutionary transition since the 1990s with traditional navigation tasks being phased out. The U.S. Air Force and U.S. Navy, for instance, no longer teach aviators how to do celestial navigation.
Shipborne navigators in the U.S. Navy are normally surface warfare officer qualified with the exception of naval aviators and naval flight officers assigned to ship's navigator billets aboard aircraft carriers and large deck amphibious assault ships and who have been qualified at a level equal to surface warfare officers. U.S. Coast Guard officers that are shipboard navigators are normally cutter qualified at a level analogous to the USN officers previously mentioned. Quartermasters are the navigator's enlisted assistants and perform most of the technical navigation duties.

The Navigators Atlantic Canada's most unique electric/acoustic Celtic band features two of Newfoundland's impressive baritones Fred Jorgensen (whistles, bodhran, guitar) and the rich Newfoundland Irish voice of Arthur O'Brien (fiddle, acoustic/electric guitar) a singer songwriter with genuine love of his homeland. The Navigators have received multiple awards and nominations. Their 3rd recording "Soldier & Sailors" delivers a mix of modern electric folk and traditional Irish Newfoundland melodies. In the last 12 months the band has toured The USA from Coast to Coast, Canada five times and in 2010 Europe

You can find a new reason
to do the things you do
it's the end of the season
ain't nothing here for you
it's just a misunderstandig
another hole in the ground
the things you lost are all around you
another walk in the gutter
another weightless fall
another face in the mirror
it's just an endless crawl
and now you're stuck in the corner
ain't no easy way out
you're digging to deep
my friend
you're digging to deep
why don't you leave her all alone
you make a mess for everyone
why don't you leave her all alone
can't you see this wall of stone
and you can't go on much longer
it's just a question of time
it's just a misunderstanding
another downward climb
the circle keep getting smaller
and you go round and round
ain't nowhere left to turn
you're going underground
why don't you leave her all alone
you make a mess for everyone
why don't you leave her all alone
stuck behind your wall of stone
it really ain't no point in trying your ? without sayin
goodbye to someone
you're holding on to all you're fears
and all the things you'll never share with no one
in the night when he longs for the light he's gonna be
alright
why don't you leave her all alone
cause the road you're walking on
will never lead you home
why don't you leave her all alone
alone, alone
why don't you leave her all alone
you make a mess for everyone
why don't you leave her all alone
can't you see this wall of stone
you're digging to deep
my friend
