Transport wander of a gyroscope is apparent when the gyroscope crosses a meridian that is converging with another. So, at any latitude other than the Equator, any East-West movement will cause transport wander.

As North-South movement involves tracking along a meridian (and not crossing) then no transport wander occurs. Although East-West movement along the Equator does involve crossing meridians, because all meridians are parallel at the Equator no transport wander occurs.

What is tilt and drift in free gyroscope?

In a free gyroscope, tilt refers to the angular displacement of the spinning axis from its original vertical position, while drift refers to the slow rotation of the spinning axis over time due to external factors such as friction or unbalanced forces. Tilt can be corrected by precession or nutation, while drift can be minimized through careful design and balancing of the gyroscope.
