A character who is really good at locating places and objects. This character knows their way around maps and are at giving good directions. If they are part of a FiveManBand or a CommandRoster, expect this character to double as TheSmartGuy. This type of character is often found in works with a military or maritime setting. If the setting has a magical setting or EldritchLocation, expect The Navigator [[MacGuffin to wield]] a MagicMap or [[MagicCompass compass]]. Their ability to navigate and detect might even be due to magic or a superpower in these settings.
Contrast with NoSenseOfDirection, a character who is incredibly bad at maps and directions.
