The Magnetic Compass: A Pillar of Direction
While celestial nawigation provides position, the compass provides instanteneous direction. Before thee compass, mariners in places like the Mediterranean relied on coasual landmarks, dead recogninary (estimating position from speed andd course), and sun or star sivisings when visible. The compass was revolutionary because it providevided a fixed reference point - magnetic north - even under aver overcast ovear oper open.
