'True navigation' indicates that animals can move toward a destination without using familiar landmarks. Migratory birds apparently achieve this by extrapolating their position from geomagnetic cues. What this ability implies about the function and representation of animals' large-scale maps remains uncertain.
“真正的导航”是指动物可以在不使用熟悉地标物的情况下朝着目的地移动。候鸟显然通过从地磁场线索中推断出自己的位置来实现这一点。这种能力对动物大尺度地图的功能和表示意味着什么,目前还不确定。
