Rho Theta Navigation

ID: rho-theta-navigation

Rho Theta Navigation, often referred to as polar navigation or polar coordinate navigation, is a method used primarily in aerial and marine navigation. It involves using polar coordinates to specify a location or to guide a movement towards a destination. The name "Rho" (ρ) typically refers to the distance from a reference point (often the current position), while "Theta" (θ) refers to the angle or bearing relative to a defined reference direction, usually north.
