Did early navigators use the angle of the sun to find the latitude?
Sighting the Sun at midday (when it is highest in the sky) is one of the best methods to determine latitude (of course you must know what day of the year it is too but that was relatively easy to keep track of). You have to be very careful if you are in the middle of an ocean and on a ship bobbing on the waves to do this properly!

What happened as a direct result of europeans use of the astrolabe?
Astrolabes were first widely used in the Middle Ages and by about 1450AD they were in use by navigators. They allowed navigators to calculate the position of the Sun and stars from the horizon. Their use was the first step toward scientific navigation. The great age of exploration was coincidental with their use.
How would having GPS technology have helped early navigators?
They wouldn't have had to depend on the stars for navigation. If the sky were cloudy, they wouldn't have been able to use a sextant. GPS and accurate maps would help them avoid obstacles.
What map projection nearly all seagoing navigators still use today?

Why do sailors and navigators use the magnetic compass to find the direction?
Sailors and navigators use the magnetic compass because it provides a reliable and consistent means of determining direction relative to the Earth's magnetic field. The compass needle aligns itself with the magnetic north, allowing navigators to establish their heading and make accurate course adjustments. This essential tool is especially valuable in open water and during poor visibility conditions when celestial navigation may not be possible. Additionally, the compass is simple to use and requires no external power source, making it a dependable instrument for maritime navigation.
