In some Polynesian cultures, the seven stars of Matariki were used as navigation aids for voyaging. By observing the position and alignment of these stars, navigators could determine their latitude and direction while at sea. They would use this knowledge in conjunction with other navigation techniques such as reading wave patterns, bird behavior, and cloud formations to navigate across the vast oceans.
Examples of navigation satellites include the Global Positioning System (GPS) operated by the United States, GLONASS operated by Russia, Galileo operated by the European Union, and BeiDou operated by China. These satellite constellations provide accurate positioning, navigation, and timing services worldwide.
Flying beneath the moon and stars is often referred to as night flying. This can provide a serene and magical experience as you soar through the nighttime sky. Pilots may use navigation aids, such as instruments and lights on the aircraft, to safely navigate during night flights.

Satellite navigation systems provide accurate real-time positioning information, improving navigation efficiency and reducing travel time. They offer global coverage, enabling users to navigate in remote areas where traditional navigation methods might not work. Additionally, satellite navigation systems can provide additional features such as traffic updates, points of interest, and route optimization.

In the US, to my knowledge, the only regular aids to navigation to have white lights are Safe water buoys (Entrance buoys) & range boards. Private aids to navigation may have white lights also. More to follow.
The Federal Aviation Administration. However, the U.S. Coast Guard/Department of Defense, Lochheed Martin. as well as some local governments and privately owned coorperations operate radio aids to air navigation.
A gps gsm is used for exact location of your vehicle whereas the navigation system aids the person using it to find the location they are looking for .

Some are know as "Nun" Buoys
They provide navigation aids at night. The stars are beautiful to look at and provide inspiration for the arts.
