Abstract

A navigation system for and method of tracking the position of the work target is provided. The navigation system can detect distortions of a trackable device during the navigation procedure and compensate for such deformation in a way that reduces or eliminates navigational error and/or avoids or reduces the need to re-set the navigation system during a navigation procedure.
