LOL you get cut off almost exactly the same time as in the Monty Python sketch. That would have made a great puzzle. Are the location of any shipwrecks relevant? Anything to do with the great explorers? Columbus? Magellan? Vespucci? Drake? Cook? | ||

Is some vehicle being directed when you say "navigation?" If so, Is the vehicle being directed by said navigation relevant? If so, is it a ship? An airplane? A spacecraft? A car? A bicycle? A horse? A human body? Or is it navigation more in the sense of searching through information? Is the Internet being navigated? A library? A book? Does the "history" have anything to do with human history? Geological history? The history of the Lateral Thinking Puzzles Forum? Some user thereof? Or, perhaps, History of the World, Part I? | ||

And then the day was saved again by... D Gordon: Is some vehicle being directed when you say "navigation?" That is indeed the very sense I intended. If so, Is the vehicle being directed by said navigation relevant? To a certain extent, yes, quite relevant. If so, is it a ship? An airplane? A spacecraft? A car? This is most likely... A bicycle? ...although this is a possibility A horse? A human body? This is possible, as well. Or is it navigation more in the sense of searching through information? Is the Internet being navigated? A library? A book? No to these Does the "history" have anything to do with human history? This one Geological history? The history of the Lateral Thinking Puzzles Forum? Some user thereof? Or, perhaps, History of the World, Part I? Alas, no to this and the rest. | ||

Is it historical people's names rather than historical events that are the names of the relevant streets? Are the streets named after presidents of the United States? Did you have to take a route that took you on specific streets in historical order of who/what they were named after? | ||

********SPOILER*********** Kalira: Is it historical people's names rather than historical events that are the names of the relevant streets? Yes Are the streets named after presidents of the United States? Indeed Did you have to take a route that took you on specific streets in historical order of who/what they were named after? Something like that. I was just cruising down SR A1A in the lovely city of Cape Canaveral, Florida, and I noticed that - from "Cape Canaveral, Florida", Wikipedia "Hmmm...," I thought to myself.
