We show existence, uniqueness, and directedness properties for infinite geodesics in the FPP model. After giving the fundamental definitions, we describe results by Newman and collaborators giving existence and uniqueness of directed geodesics under an unproven curvature assumption. We then give two proofs of the existence of at least two infinite geodesics under no unproven assumptions. In the final two sections, we give proofs of directedness statements for infinite geodesics using more recent methods which give information even under no unproven assumptions and prove a generalized uniqueness statement for infinite geodesics.
