Do they have the same instruments like pilots have?
In: Technology
Modern navigation is mostly done by GPS systems. Effectively a satellite will continuously spit out the time and location it is at. From this a GPS system can calculate its location based on the input from several signals. This is called triangulation. This then outputs cords of the ship which are used to keep the ship on tract. There is a bit more to it than what is here but it gives a good idea of how this works.
