How the compass unlock the world
Summary
I’ve completely forgotten that the compass is embedded in my phone and I haven’t ever used it. It’s because Google maps can find not only our way north but how long it takes time to there. Technology growing is great!

By using a compass that turns towards the Earth’s magnetic pole, we can find our way north. It’s no matter where the sun is and where the stars are. It essentially laid out what north, south, east, and west.
