-See the [INavigationService interface in the repository](https://github.com/BurkusCat/Burkus.Mvvm.Maui/blob/main/src/Abstractions/INavigationService.cs) for all possible navigation method options.
+The `INavigationService` supports URI/URL-based navigation. Use the `.Navigate(string uri)` or `.Navigate(string uri, NavigationParameters navigationParameters)` methods to do more complex navigation.
+
+**⚠️ WARNING**: URI-based navigation behavior is unstable and is likely to change in future releases. Passing parameters, events triggered etc. are all inconsistent at present.
+
+Here are some examples of URI navigation:
+``` csharp
+// use absolute navigation (starts with a "/") to go to the LoginPage
+navigationService.Navigate("/LoginPage");
+
+// push multiple pages using relative navigation onto the stack
+navigationService.Navigate("AlphaPage/BetaPage/CharliePage");
+
+// push a page relatively with query parameters
+navigationService.Navigate("HomePage?username=Ronan&loggedIn=True");
+
+// push a page with query parameters *and* navigation parameters
+// - the query parameters only apply to one segment
+// - the navigation parameters apply to the entire navigation
+// - query parameters override navigation parameters
+var parameters = new NavigationParameters { "example", 456 };
+navigationService.Navigate("ProductPage?productid=123", parameters);
+
+// go back one page modally
+var parameters = new NavigationParameters();
+parameters.UseModalNavigation = true;
+navigationService.Navigate("..", parameters);
+
+// go back three pages and push one new page
+navigationService.Navigate("../../../AlphaPage");
+
+// it is good practice to use nameof(x) to provide a compile-time reference to the pages in your navigation
+navigationService.Navigate($"{nameof(YankeePage)}/{nameof(ZuluPage)}");
+```
+### Navigation URI builder
+Navigation to multiple pages simultaneously and passing parameters to them can start to get complicated quickly. The `NavigationUriBuilder` is a simple, typed way to build a complex navigation string.
+
+Below is an example where we go back a page (and pass a parameter that instructs the navigation to be performed modally), then push a `VictorPage`, and then push a `YankeePage` modally onto the stack:
+``` csharp
+var parameters = new NavigationParameters();
+parameters.UseModalNavigation = true;
+
+var navigationUri = new NavigationUriBuilder()
+    .AddGoBackSegment(parameters)
+    .AddSegment<VictorPage>()
+    .AddSegment<YankeePage>(parameters)
+    .Build() // produces the string: "..?UseModalNavigation=True/VictorPage/YankeePage/"
+
+navigationService.Navigate(navigationUri);
+```

 - When you inherit from `BurkusMvvmApplication`, the `MainPage` of the app will be automatically set to a `NavigationPage`. This means the first page you push can be a `ContentPage` rather than needing to push a `NavigationPage`. This may change in the future.
