NAV1 is the freq. of the docking port you want to dock.
You have to go on COM/NAV MFD, set the dock freq. on NAV1 (You can find that on Object Info -> Vessels -> the vessel you want to dock -> the dock himself ), and, if you are near (at least 100 Km maybe, I don't remember...) the docking port, it will dock you safely...

Just press Ctrl and I to get the info on the ship and its docking ports.
Make sure you set NAV 1 to the docking port with which you want to dock. Get to within 100km, and engage the autopilot.
The autopilot can be a bit dodgy sometimes (lets just say its good there's no collision detection), but if you can't do it yourself or don't want to do it yourself, it will get you there eventually.

Thanks, even experienced orbitnauts need yelp, help sometimes.

I usually get pretty close to the docking port, I just always end up gradually pushing the ISS or MIR or whatever into the atmosphere if I do it myself. The Only issue I get is when accidentally selected the wrong dock in the nav1. Can't win them all I suppose.
