What is the fundamental difference between
a fixed navigational aid and a floating one as
depicted on a chart.


A floating aid will generally be shown with an open circle, indicating
that its exact position may change.

The fixed aid will generally have a dot in the circle or a larger black
disk, indicating that its position can considered exact.
