Nose wheel accuracy

Hi people,
Ever since I was a kid I have been fascinated by civil aircraft. I have spent more time than I care to admit to watching aircraft arrive and depart airports. In all this time I have always been flummoxed by how when taxiing, pilots always seem to be able to keep the nose wheel exactly on the line they are following with pin point accuracy? As the cockpit is generally above the nose wheel with no clear view of the wheels, please could you explain exactly how it is done?
This will clear up one of lives mystery's for me.

Thanks
