Niccolo. He was in China with is brother, Maffeo, when the Great Khan asked them to go see the Pope and ask him to send one hundred missionary scholars to Cathay (northern China). Niccolo and Maffeo arrived at the crusader port of Acre (in modern Israel) in 1269 and in 1271 received commission from Pop Gregory X (reign 1271-1276) to return to China with two Dominican friars. The two friars quickly abandoned the expedition, afraid of the dangers that awaited them, but Niccolo's seventeen year old son, Marco, was made of sterner stuff. The three of them began a long trek back to northern China and the court of Kubilai (the emperor of China at the time), arriving there in 1274 or 1275. Here apparently Marco entered the service of the Great Khan, but it is impossible to say with certainty what offices he held. Whatever the truth about Polo's position, it is clear that for close to two decades he traveled extensively over much of Kubilai's empire, and he probably functioned, at least occasionally, as one of the many foreign officials serving the Mongol, of Yuan, Dynasty (1271-1368).

Which Invention helped Marco Polo?
As I sat thinking about your question I couldn't come up with an invention that truly helped Polo. It is possible that he used a compass that his father would have brought back from China on one of his trips. After Polo returned to Venice, Italy from his years in China he did write a book and it is possible that the invention of the printing press would have also helped by getting his story out. He came before some of the inventions and improvements in sailing that would have helped him and his maps would have been very basic not showing items that explorers found later on ( including himself). Gunpowder that he brought back from China may have helped him since he did fight in a war after he returned to Italy.
