The American Practical Navigator (colloquially often referred to as Bowditch), originally written by Nathaniel Bowditch, is an encyclopedia of navigation. It serves as a valuable handbook on oceanography and meteorology, and contains useful tables and a maritime glossary. In 1867 the copyright and plates were bought by the Hydrographic Office of the United States Navy. As of 2019 it is still published by the U.S. Government and is available free online from the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA), the modern successor agency to the 19th Century Hydrographic Office. The publication is considered one of America's nautical institutions.

  • The American Practical Navigator plus connu sous le nom de Bowditch (du nom de l'auteur des premières versions) est un ouvrage publié par la National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency. Tout comme le Mariner's Handbook publié par l'amirauté britannique, cette encyclopédie tente de rassembler l'essentiel des connaissances théoriques nécessaires à la navigation. Nathaniel Bowditch, né le 26 mars 1773, mort le 16 mars 1838 était un navigateur mathématicien qui simplifia les méthodes d'astronavigation, permettant ainsi aux marins de pouvoir connaître avec plus d'exactitude leur position.
