The following image summarizes the relationship between the key components that make up the Autodesk Navigation SDK.

The core code modules are the gwnavruntime and gwnavgeneration libraries:

• Your level editor typically integrates calls to the gwnavgeneration library, to generate a set of NavData that represents each of the levels and terrains that you use in your game. For more information, see NavData.
• Your game engine uses the classes and functions provided by the gwnavruntime library in order to load the NavData generated in your level editor, and to set up and control the pathfinding and spatial queries you perform based on that NavData.

These core libraries are also used by the Navigation Lab and labgame tools.

Note that actual library dependencies are not necessary for your final release. Clients with access to the full source code for the core gwnavruntime and gwnavgeneration libraries can include the headers and code files in your own project and compile them as part of your game application.
