Abstract
The Latin saying “citius, altius, fortius” meaning “swifter, higher, stronger” is especially applicable in sports. A success of today may be a defeat of tomorrow. The scientific development usually takes a similar course. As seen from the history in Chap. 2, the evolution of navigation from the technological point of view is fully coherent with this Latin phrase, whereas the basic objectives to be fulfilled remained the same over the centuries.
