The Chinese were the first to use a compass for navigation, dating back to as early as the 2nd century BC.
The first explorer to widely use the compass was likely the Chinese explorer Zheng He during his voyages in the early 15th century. The compass was an important navigational tool that helped sailors determine their direction at sea.
To use a compass, first hold it flat in your hand and make sure the needle is pointing north. Then, rotate yourself and the compass together until the red end of the needle aligns with the "N" on the dial. Your direction of travel is now indicated by the direction of the compass arrow. Remember to account for declination if necessary.
The first compass was invented in China during the Han Dynasty around the 2nd century BC. It was used for divination before being adopted for navigation.
To use a compass with a lens, hold the compass level and look through the lens to read the compass direction. The lens helps in magnifying the needle and making it easier to see the direction accurately. Ensure the compass is away from any metal objects or magnetic interference to get an accurate reading.
The first European compass was created by the Englishman William Bourne in the 16th century. Bourne's compass was an improvement on existing designs and helped with maritime navigation.
Zheng He. He traveled the 7 seas by ship between 1403 and 1433 with the aid of a compass. Zheng He was not the first to travel by ship with a compass, he was only the first to record the use of a compass. The use of a compass on ships became popular during the time period of 850-1050 AD.

the compass came first

how they use the compass it so they won't get lost
To use a prismatic compass, first ensure it is set up correctly by adjusting the azimuth ring to align with magnetic north. Then, hold the compass level and sight your target through the prism while reading the azimuth on the compass dial. Ensure you compensate for any declination angle if needed.

first they came up with magnetics and well then they put it in to use
it is the compass that people use in science for seeing directions
we use the pencil, protractor and a compass. we use the pencil, protractor and a compass.
