* While William Bligh may have lacked as a commander, his skills as a navigator were without question. During TheMutiny [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mutiny_on_the_Bounty on the HMS Bounty]], he and the crew still loyal to him were left stranded on a [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Launch_(boat) launch]] some time after they left Tahiti. There, he managed the nigh impossible feat of navigating the open waters to Coupang, Timor, over ''six thousand kilometers'' from their starting point. His cartography skills were similarly praise-worthy, as maps that he made (such as of Hawaii) were still in use well over a century after his death due to their accuracy.

Her pinpointing skills are so great that she essentially showed Bae, an Australian, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RDeCkOfFYPY the way around]] Australia, ''a country [=AZKi=] never visited''.

* In any ''TabletopGame/{{Ryuutama}}'' party, one character is expected to take on the role of Mapper, who is in charge of making Direction Checks to navigate the party through rough terrain. Failing a Direction Check will halve your party's movement, while a CriticalFailure causes your party to go in circles. Minstrels gain an inherent bonus to Direction Checks, and magic users may summon a magical compass to provide support.

* On ''Film/TheHuntForRedOctober'' Mr. Kamarov was is the ''Red October's'' navigator and guided guides the boat through the infamous Red Route One. One, a complex series of paths within an underwater canyon through which Soviet submarines would run to get across the Atlantic while hiding from NATO sonar nets. The margins are very tight for a submarine, especially one as large as the ''Typhoon''-class ''Red October'' -- being even just one boat length off could mean crashing into a canyon wall.
