navigation is 'the management of errors'. No single navigation aid (even GPS) is free from errors of some sort. The cautious navigator or pilot needs to use all available aids
One of the passengers reported he noticed something was not right, being a frequent traveller on the route, he recognised the sun was not in the correct position.
