. **GPS (Global Positioning System)**: This is probably the most common one. It uses satellites to pinpoint your location on Earth, making it super easy to navigate anywhere on the water.

. **Radar**: This system uses radio waves to detect other vessels and obstacles. It’s especially handy in poor visibility conditions, like fog or heavy rain.

. **Chartplotters**: These are basically GPS devices that also display nautical charts. They help you plot your course and see where you’re headed in real-time.

. **AIS (Automatic Identification System)**: This system helps vessels communicate with each other. It sends out information like your boat's position, course, and speed, which can help avoid collisions.
