How it's used
Primarily used in the context of digital technology like GPS or mobile apps. While it can mean to guide someone physically, using it for human guidance often sounds slightly technical or formal, as if the person is acting like a machine.
Examples
Do you use navigation while you are driving?
He guided me to that restaurant.

Common mistake
Avoid using this to mean simply showing someone the way in a casual conversation, as it implies a systematic or technological process. For casual human guidance, use 帶路 instead.
