What were the three major technological advances that made it possible to explore the world from the 15th to 17th centuries? The five major advancements of the Age of Exploration were the astrolabe, magnetic compass, caravel, sextant, and Mercator’s projection.

The four main obstacles of European exploration included technological limitations, financial constraints, geographical knowledge, and political rivalries. Advances in navigation and shipbuilding were essential to overcome technological barriers, while funding from monarchies and investors was crucial for expeditions. Inadequate maps and understanding of the world's geography hindered explorers' capabilities, and competing interests among European powers often led to conflicts that complicated exploration efforts. Together, these obstacles shaped the pace and direction of European expansion during the Age of Exploration.
Advances in technology, such as improved ship design, navigational tools like the astrolabe and magnetic compass, and the development of the printing press for sharing maps and knowledge, enabled European explorers to venture further into unknown territories. These technological innovations made long sea voyages more feasible, allowing for the discovery of new trade routes, resources, and territories, ultimately leading to the expansion of European exploration and colonization.
