// class G4TransportationManager
//
// Class description:
//
// A singleton class which stores the (volume) navigator used by 
// the transportation process to do the geometrical tracking.
// It also stores a pointer to the propagator used in a (magnetic) 
// field and to the field manager.
// The class instance is created before main() is called, and
// in turn creates the navigator and the rest.
