There are many answers to this, but I'll confine my remarks to the Age of Discovery, 1419 to 1529.
Prior to this time, European exploration and sailing had been primarily close to land cabotage, guided by portolan charts. These charts specified proven ocean routes guided by coastal landmarks: sailors departed from a known point, followed a compass heading, and tried to identify their location by its landmarks. For the first oceanic exploration Western Europeans used the compass, progressive new advances in cartography and astronomy. Arab navigation tools like the astrolabeand quadrant were used for celestial navigation.
Under Portugal's Prince Henry the Navigator, a major advance was the introduction of the caravel in the mid-15th century, a small ship able to sail windward more than any other in Europe at the time.
Military technology, such as improved cannons and swords, also helped further exploration and discovery.
The six reasons for exploration are curiosity, trade and wealth, power and glory, religion, science and technology, and conquest and colonization.

Prince Henry the Navigator of Portugal is often credited with initiating the Age of Exploration in the 15th century. He sponsored many expeditions, encouraged exploration of the coast of Africa, and supported the development of navigational technology.
Political, economic, social, environment.
Four obstacles to early exploration were limited technology and knowledge of navigation, lack of funding and support from governments, fear of the unknown and superstitions, and the physical dangers of long voyages at sea.
Help which one is it A) a mariner's compass B) circumnavigation C) the astrolabe D) the caravel
It is a easy way to get information
circumnavigation
Slaves were starting to become popular in Europe so in order to build this new ship technology that was starting to originate in Europe slaves were put to work to help build the ships fast in order for overseas exploration
Spain had many soldiers available to help it profit from exploration.
The exploration is one of those topics that has got key excellence, and that calls for trained assistance on

The magnetic compass helped exploration by providing a reliable method for determining direction, allowing navigators to more accurately plot their course. This technology enabled sailors to venture further from land and explore new territories with greater confidence.
