The development of navigation didn't lead to a direct sea route to asia there is no direct sea route to asia. But it allowed easier movement and trade between Europe and Asia. By ways either around the cape in South Africa or by the reed sea near the eastern edge of the Meditteranean. It allowed sailors to pass easier because now instead of having to follow the coast the whole way to Asia they could cut across the Indian ocean using navigation based on the stars location, the sun, and the time of day. This would cut major time traveling which allowed for a more direct route, but there was never and still is no direct sea route. A plane would be direct though
