In modern maritime navigation vessels rely on maps andinstrumentation to accurately determine their position as they navigate to a known destination.The analogy in design is defined specifications that provide details on the desired endpoint andproject metrics that mark milestones on the journey. If the main goal of design is viewed as aproduct this is a valid analogy. However, some design projects are less specified, and the endingdestination may be envisioned in a general sense without being able to be specified or located.Projects that intersect broader societal needs—design for social justice or design embedded incommunities—are more often of this form.
