Around 711, Muslims developed several navigational aids that significantly enhanced maritime exploration. They utilized the astrolabe, an instrument for measuring the altitude of celestial bodies, which helped sailors determine their latitude. Additionally, they created detailed maps and charts, known as "portolans," that depicted Coastlines and navigational routes. These advancements facilitated trade and travel across the Mediterranean and into the Indian ocean.
