HISTORY OF THE COMPASS:

Before the creation of the compass, the direction in open sea was determined with the position of celestial bodies. Sometimes navigation is supported by using probes. The main difficulties encountered with the use of these methods were too deep waters for the use of probes, and often the sky was too cloudy, or the weather was very foggy. The compass was used mainly to alleviate these problems, so that the suffering cultures that adopted little use of this instrument. Such is the case of the Arabs, who generally had clear skies in navigating the Persian Gulf and the Indian Ocean. Meanwhile, the sailors of the relatively shallow Baltic made extensive use of the probes. The astrolabe, an ancient Greek invention also helped in navigation

It was invented in China around the ninth century in order to determine the directions in the open sea, and initially consisted of a magnetized needle floating in a jar of water. It was later improved to reduce its size and ease of use, changing water vessel by a rotating shaft, and adding a "compass" that serves as a guide to calculate directions. Currently compasses have been small improvements that, while not changing the way they work, become more simple measurements to be made. These improvements include lighting systems for data collection in dark environments, and optical systems for measurements where the references are objects in the distance.
