Navigators see far enough into the future to know which future has them arrive safely at their destination. Then, they simply use the "seen" course. The helm can then engage the drive.
Maybe its just me, but I never thought of "folding space" as meaning the navigator teleports the vessel from one spot to another. My take was that they already have something like a light or warp drive, but they aren't allowed to build machines that would be able to calculate a course that would avoid hazards like asteroids of black holes. But the navigators have a degree of clairvoyance that allows them to do so in place of a machine, so they literally do navigate the ship through space. But that's my take.
I did not read original Dune in English, I read it in Bulgarian. Is strange, but there was nothing about "folding space". It was explained that Holtzmann engine
Read the books. The navigators don't fold the space, the Holtzmann engines folded the space. Think of it as moving from room to room in your house without taking a step while the house moves around you. You would still need to avoid walls, floors and ceilings as you go. That's what the navigators are for. The Holtzmann effect, the same one that produces shields for subspace ships and personal battle shields, is used to bend space-time so that two portions of space can be in the same place at the same time, letting the ship be in both of those places simultaneously for that moment.
Navigators don’t fold space themselves, they decide how/where the space is folded using their super-prescience to detect if their ship will collide with anything.
I wonder if the Navigator "George" as a child imagined one day when he's all grown up he'd be a mutated lonely thing living in a gold fish bowl. "Charlie what would you like to be when you grow up" " A doctor mammy". "George. Hold my beer"..
I didn't know until recently that the Guild Navigators look the way they do because they ingest way too much melange. They were humanoid to start with, but the more spice they ingest, the more mutated they become. The fact that they can navigate safe passage in space is just fascinating to me.
He looks about as happy in his job as I do.

Not only did they fold space, they were known for their ability to cut, trim and hem it also.

When last comes to last Dune is really just drug cartels battling for turf and supply.

The Navigator doesn't fold space, simply figures out the safest tunnel to go through
That navigator is beyond BAKED. Must be nice floating around in spice gas chronically high and having a complete monopoly on space travel.
What is that announcement? The airport flight departures at LAX? Then Dracula books his flight? Man those are some cheesy special effects.
So powerful it even folded the aspect ratio...

As limited as the budget was for the Syfy series, they still did a LOT of good stuff.

That guild navigator is clearly a Vorlon.

Thank you for this awesome documentary of me unplugging and plugging the router.
These arguments will be settled when the third stage navigator arrives.
Wow. Keith Richards is looking good for his age.
