Magnetic Compass
A Compass is a navigational instrument for determining direction relative to the Earth''s magnetic poles. It consists of a magnetized pointer (usually marked on the North end) free to align itself with Earth''s magnetic field. The compass greatly improved the safety and efficiency of travel, especially ocean travel. A compass can be used to calculate heading, used with a sextant to calculate latitude, and with a marine chronometer to calculate longitude. It thus provides a much improved navigational capability that has only been recently supplanted by modern devices such as the Global Positioning System (GPS)
