There is no real navigation. The only "real" navigation is the game feeds an external astronomy program your GPS position, which allows it to display the sky in a planetarium program. You use the unrealistically perfect altitudes and azimuths of stars to work out your GPS position. It's just a closed loop of giving you your "unrealistic" GPS position by another means so you can call it "real." Not real.
You also have to mod the nav map so you can't really do combat any more. For every good thing you accomplish by trying to fool yourself you're doing real navigation, three other things change. Two of them are bad.
If we want real navigation we need another game entirely. It doesn't exist.
