"Navigate your guests 'the Right Way"
'The Right Way' is a slogan of a company that manages business data on digital maps. However, the above sentence sounds wrong to me. Why is this? Is 'Navigate' being used in a verb tense for which it is not suited? Can you navigate someone else? Which tense is that?
Thanks!

It is obvious that they are trying to create a catchy phrase as a take-off on a popular saying. To me it falls flat.
The basis is sound advice in raising kids when they get to be of an age when they are making their own decisions: "Steer them in the right direction."
0No, you cannot "navigate your guests." You can direct or steer or maybe even route your guests, but you can't navigate them.
