navigate

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'and plan a route' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'i get a van serviced' is the wordplay.
'serviced' is an anagram indicator (to service can mean to repair).
'i'+'get'+'a'+'van'='igetavan'
'igetavan' is an anagram of 'NAVIGATE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for navigate that I've seen before include "Go by sea" , "Plan and follow a route" , "Steer, ship or plane" , "Guide (a vessel)" , "Drive" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
