and actual positions of vessels. Water in motion is called a current; the direction toward which it moves is called set‚ and its speed is called drift. Modern shipping speeds have lessened the impact of currents on a typical voyage‚ and since electronic navigation allows continuous adjustment of course‚ there is less need to estimate current set and drift before setting the course to be steered.
