A Navigation Mesh (or shorter: nav mesh) represents the "walkable areas" of a map. This data is required by Bots and Hostages in Template:Game name and Template:Game name, and all NextBot entities in Template:Game name, Template:Game name, Template:Game name and Template:Game name, allowing them to know where they can go and how to move around in the environment.
NAV files
Main article: NAV
Navigation Mesh data is stored in a NAV file corresponding to the map file (.bsp) for which it is used. For example, the nav mesh for cstrike\maps\de_dust.bsp is stored in cstrike\maps\de_dust.nav.

The Navigation Mesh Editing is done in-game. A (new) .nav file can be generated with nav_generate (which requires sv_cheats 1 and nav_edit 1).
