A map.
Equater
The two main reference lines used in locating places on Earth are the Equator, which divides the Earth into the Northern and Southern Hemispheres, and the Prime Meridian, which divides the Earth into the Eastern and Western Hemispheres. Additionally, lines of latitude (parallels) and longitude (meridians) help pinpoint specific locations on the Earth's surface.
Algebra is used to help determine distances in time, or places
different places where computers are used with pictures
Road maps are used for directing people if they get lost. Another word for a road map is called a melways.
A bar scale helps you find distances between places

A Map, in one one of these different types of projections: Mercator, Gnomonic, and Polyconic. Mercator - Shows the whole world except for the poles. Gnomonic - A circle projection showing, most often, the poles but sometimes other small places of the earth. Polyconic - Made as if a cone of paper had been wrapped around the earth, often used for places in the middle latitudes, such as the United States.
A network of lines used for locating points is called a coordinate system. Coordinate systems provide a reference framework that allows us to precisely define the position of points in space. Common examples include Cartesian coordinates (x, y), polar coordinates (r, θ), and geographic coordinates (latitude, longitude).
The North Star is at the north always so it is used fir locating directions.
i am pretty sure that camels were used for log distances in Egypt.
