Airplane navigation can't be done without coordinate geometry. The entire region where the aeroplanes fly is digitized using sophisticated technologies. They make a model of earth using GPS, RADAR etc which is represented in a co-ordinate space in computers. The location of different air-crafts are denoted there using different co-ordinate points. Then the aeroplanes are instructed to go in a certain direction to reach the destination. They are also guided so that there is no accident with other air-crafts.

Answer:
GPS has become a preferred method of navigating due to the accuracy and ease of use.
Step-by-step explanation:
- Though there are errors associated with GPS, they are rare.
- GPS systems can be used anywhere in the world, even in mountainous terrain, and they aren't prone to the errors of radio NAVAIDS, such as line-of-sight and electrical interference.
- The GPS system uses triangulation to determine the aircraft's exact position over the earth.
