+FloeNavi Toolbox
+################
+
+Python toolbox for managing and transforming GPS positions for measurements into a cartesian coordinate system anchored in drifting sea ice using a reference station. The toolbox was created for the Multidisciplinary drifting Observatory for the Study of Arctic Climate (MOSAiC), but can be used with any source of reference data. 
+
+The toolbox has built-in supports two source of reference sources: 
+
+1. Polarstern position and heading 
+2. MOSAiC floenavi virtual reference station
+
+**Requirements**:
+
+Zhe toolbox is based on python 3 and has been tested until python 3.7 version so far. In addition to standard python packages it uses the `icedrift <https://gitlab.awi.de/floenavi-crs/icedrift/>`_ package for the coordinate transformation. 
+
+**Installation**:
+  
+The python uses standard python package conventions and can be installed with pip directly from the git repository:
+
+.. code-block::
+    
+  pip install https://gitlab.awi.de/floenavi-crs/floenavi.git
+
+
+**Examples**:
+
+Using the floenavi toolbox with: 
+
+1. `floenavi basestation data <https://gitlab.awi.de/floenavi-crs/floenavi/-/blob/master/examples/mosaic-floenavi-example.ipynb?expanded=true&viewer=rich>`_
+   
+2. `polarstern reference data <https://gitlab.awi.de/floenavi-crs/floenavi/-/blob/master/examples/mosaic-polarstern-refstat-example.ipynb?expanded=true&viewer=rich>`_
