A compass is a tool that uses the Earth's magnetic field to indicate direction. It began to be widely used for navigation in 13th-century Europe. In China, it is said to have been used much earlier under the name 'Sinan'.
Although GPS has become commonplace in modern times, the compass is still recognized as an essential survival tool. In the sport of orienteering, in particular, navigating to a destination using only a map and compass is a core rule, and it has gained popularity worldwide.
