Early explorers did not have the same tools we have today. They would have used the sun as a navigational tool along with a compass. They would have had crude maps, boats, sailing winds and even the experience of trackers.

French explorers used a variety of tools for navigation and exploration, including compasses, astrolabes, and sextants to determine their position at sea. They also utilized maps and charts for plotting their routes. For land exploration, tools such as rifles for hunting, canoes for river travel, and basic surveying instruments were essential. Additionally, they often carried notebooks and journals to document their findings and experiences.
the routes taken by explorers for Portugal during the 1400s and early 1500s was the cape of good hope

Early explorers used maps to navigate unknown territories, keep track of their locations, plan their routes, and discover new lands. Maps were essential tools for them to understand the world around them and effectively embark on their exploration journeys.

Early navigational tools used by European explorers included the magnetic compass, which helped determine direction based on Earth's magnetic field. The astrolabe was used to measure the altitude of celestial bodies like the sun or stars to determine latitude. Additionally, the quadrant and cross-staff were used to measure the angle between a celestial body and the horizon for navigation purposes. These tools were crucial for explorers to accurately navigate the seas and discover new lands during the Age of Exploration.
