Big planes always had navigators in the cockpits with classic tools and maps. Airlines, bombarders, cargo planes. Smaller size plane groups also had a leader plane that were familiar with the region they flew or experienced at navigating.

Planes used to navigate using a combination of ground-based radio beacons, radar systems, magnetic compasses, celestial navigation, and visual landmarks. Pilots would reference these aids to determine their position, course, and altitude during flights.

How do piolets and aero planes know where to fly?

Large airlines and most small planes use GPS technology to fly to their destinations. They set the autopilot and off they go. Some small airplanes use maps and what is called "dead reconning" along with a compass. Some small plane pilots just follow known highways and follow these to their destination.

How will GPS be used in Avation?

GPS has been used since the late 90's in aviation. Up till recently it was used as a supplement for ground based radio beacons (known as VORS - Very high frequency Omnidirectional Radio beacons - VORs are connected to each other by radio legs and form highways in the sky). With the eventual complete use of GPS, an aircraft can fly directly from one airport to another without having to follow the VOR highways which sometimes take planes on out the way courses. GPS will also be used in the future by air traffic control to separate aircraft on their trips. Right now ground based radar shows controllers the positions of planes to keep them separated. In the future, each plane will determine its location with GPS, transmit the location to air traffic control as well as other planes, and radar will no longer be required
