| Locating directions on the high seas is fundamental to navigation. Our ancestros relied on the stars, but today we measure the direction aboard ship in celestial observation, magnetic compasses, gyrocompasses and GPS ways. Of these, the primary instrument for locating directions is the gyrocompass. Each method has its own strengths and weaknesses, but the gyrocompass can be widely used in all types of vessels, from small boats to large ships. |
