The <navref> represents a pointer to another map which should be preserved as a transcluding link rather than resolved. Output formats that support such linking will integrate the target when displaying the referencing map to an end user.
For example, if a map is converted to the Eclipse help system format, the DITA element <navref mapref="other.ditamap"/> should be converted to the Eclipse element <link toc="other.xml"/>. When Eclipse loads the referencing map, it will replace this link element with the contents of other.xml, provided that other.xml is available.
<topicref href="other.ditamap" format="ditamap"/>
<map title="MyComponent tasks"> <navref mapref="../com.ibm.xml.doc/othermap1.ditamap"/> <navref mapref="../com.ibm.xml.doc/othermap2.ditamap"/> </map>
