Navigation instruments are designed
to fix position,
measure direction, distance, the depth of water,
determine speed,
assist in plotting on charts,
observe the weather elements

MAGNETIC COMPASS
The magnetic compass is one
of the oldest instruments used
aboard ships.It is used primarily to determine
the direction.
It was invented in China around
300 A.D.

GYROCOMPASS
A gyrocompass finds North by using a
fast spinning wheel and friction forces to
exploit the rotation of the Earth.
Gyrocompass has two main advantages
over magnetic compass: It finds true
North and It is not affected by metal in aship's hull.

SEXTANT
A sextant measures the angle of declination of a celestial body. One
can calculate the degree of latitude
by knowing the angle and time.

CHARTS
Charts are graphic
representations of areas of the
Earth either in digital or graphicform.
All charts show geographic
features useful to the navigator, as
well as indications of direction.

Data shown on marine charts
include the outline and nature of
coasts, landmarks; currents, winds,tides, lighthouses, buoys, beacons,
position of rocks, bars, reefs,
shoals, wrecks, or other dangers;the nature of bottom (mud, sand,
rock, or gravel) and depth.

On a Mercator chart the meridians
of longitude are represented by
equally spaced vertical lines, andthe parallels of latitude are
represented by horizontal lines that
are closer together near theEquator than near the poles.

In Gnomic projection, lines of latitude and longitude are projected
onto the chart tangent to a single point
on the Earth.
Lines of longitude appear as
straight lines converging towards one
of the poles, while lines of latitude
appear as curves.

accurate time are a marine
chronometer , a quartz watch or
an atomic clock.
