Outline how pulsars are detected?

Pulsars are detected by their regular pulses of radiation - hence the name. If I remember correctly, that is radio waves. Before the nature of pulsars was known, the first pulsars discovered were named LGM-1, LGM-2, LGM-3, and LGM-4 - where LGM is short for "little green men". An astronomers' joke.

What type of navigation tool could be utilized in exploring the universe?

The most likely navigation system that we might use after leaving the Solar System would be a system using rapidly spinning pulsars as navigational beacons. Each pulsar spins with a distinctive period; by seeing three or more pulsars and measuring the bearings to each, we can figure out where we are in space. In fact, when astronomers first discovered pulsars, they dubbed them "LGM signals", for "little green men"; the pulses were SO regular that they couldn't be natural, astronomers thought. Therefore, these must actually BE interstellar navigational beacons! Now, of course, astronomers have figured out what they are, and no longer believe them to be artificial. But pulsars still might be interstellar navigational beacons even if they ARE natural.
