These phrases are similar but are slightly different. "Navigate around" means to travel to a different location by following a certain route or course that you have planned. "Look around" means to explore the area to see what is there. Ex: Let's have a look around! Ex: I don't know how to navigate around in Chicago. I will get lost. Ex: I want to look around and see what's here. Ex: She navigated around Paris perfectly.
