How to implement custom navigation service in mvvmlight

Question

I don’t really like the existing methods of the MVVMlight navigation interface, and this is very small, and I want to implement my own navigation interface in which I can expose complex methods that manipulate the navigation stack and integrate it with MVVM highlighting.

Any guidance on achieving this is much appreciated.

Update:

I would like to implement other transitions for moving between pages, such as page curl, flip, rotation, etc.
