Orb to navigate

Iain E. Davis wondered aloud:
 >How do orca (from that universe) navigate?  For that matter, how do orca
 >from our universe navigate?

In our universe, orca are darn smart.  They navigate using sight and sound, 
by wind and current, and, some think, by the stars.  There is at least some 
indication that some whales can follow magnetic lines--the locations of 
mass and repeated strandings tend to be where magnetic field contours are 
perpendicular to the shore.
