The problem of navigation in hypertext is quite often associated with
(dis)orientation. We begin this article by making a review of several mechanisms
to support navigation after having done a brief presentation of the phenomena
"getting lost in the hyperspace." To simplify and clarify our
explanation we have assembled the various proposals of support to navigation
into the following: 1) solutions regarding the tools to support navigation,
2) solutions regarding interface and navigation metaphors, and 3) solutions
regarding hardware and other approaches to deal with this problem. The analyses
made of each mechanism to support navigation intend to offer different points
of view about the pros and cons of their use.
