\noindent The Time Navigator plugin brings a convenient GUI to many different
210+
astronomical time steps and allows addition or subtraction of one (1)
211+
unit of any of these periods interactively.
212+
If enabled (see section~\ref{sec:Plugins:EnablingPlugins}), click on
213+
the plugin button \guibutton{0.6}{bt_TimeNavigator_Off.png} on the
214+
bottom toolbar to open the plugin window.
215+
216+
The first tab \menu{Time Steps} shows step buttons for different
217+
definitions of days, months and years, and even longer cycles such as
218+
the Saros. The second tab \menu{Specific Time} shows buttons to jump
219+
to the previous, current or next event of the selected object, e.g.\
220+
its meridian transit, as well as buttons for specific twilight moments.
