The [[NASA X-38]] was flown using a hybrid synthetic vision system that overlaid map data on video to provide enhanced navigation for the spacecraft during flight tests from 1998 to 2002. It used the LandForm software which was useful for times of limited visibility, including an instance when the video camera window frosted over leaving astronauts to rely on the map overlays.<ref name="DELG99">Delgado, F., Abernathy, M., White J., and Lowrey, B.

AR can augment the effectiveness of navigation devices. Information can be displayed on an automobile's windshield indicating destination directions and meter, weather, terrain, road conditions and traffic information as well as alerts to potential hazards in their path.<ref>[https://techcrunch.com/2010/03/17/gms-enhanced-vision-system-brings-augmented-reality-to-vehicle-huds/ GM's Enhanced Vision System].
