Technological advancements such as navigational tools like the compass and improved ship designs like the caravel enabled longer sea voyages. The development of the printing press allowed for the mass production of maps and navigational charts. Additionally, the invention of the telescope enhanced the ability to observe and study distant celestial bodies.

Navigational technology from Asia, particularly advancements such as the magnetic compass and astrolabe, significantly enhanced European maritime capabilities during the Age of Exploration. These tools improved sailors' ability to determine their position and direction at sea, facilitating longer and more accurate voyages. Additionally, the knowledge of wind patterns and ocean currents acquired from Asian maritime practices helped European explorers navigate previously uncharted waters. This technological exchange ultimately led to increased exploration, trade, and the establishment of new trade routes.

During the Age of Exploration mapmakers used cartography to map the world. They found new trade routes to Asia, which helped trade to flourish. The Age of Exploration vastly increased Europeans' knowledge of the world. They established new trade routes between India and Portugal, which helped these two countries to become wealthier. The Age of Exploration helped Spain to rapidly expand foreign trade, which helped these countries to flourish. The voyages of Columbus and Magellan showed that it was possible to sail around the world. During the Age of Exploration navigational sciences improved, so navigating was made easier. The explorer Hudson landed in Canada and found rich sources of fish and furs, which helped England become wealthy.
Technological advances like improved cartography, navigation tools such as the astrolabe and compass, and advancements in shipbuilding techniques helped facilitate exploration and trade during the Renaissance. These developments led to increased maritime exploration, the discovery of new lands, and the establishment of trade routes that expanded global trade networks.
