What two major inventions helped to advanced Portuguese navigation in the second half of the 1400s?
In the second half of the 1400s, the astrolabe and the magnetic compass were two major inventions that significantly advanced Portuguese navigation. The astrolabe allowed navigators to determine their latitude by measuring the angle of stars above the horizon, enhancing their ability to navigate the open seas. The magnetic compass provided reliable direction-finding capabilities, enabling sailors to maintain their course even in cloudy or overcast conditions, which was crucial for long voyages along the African coast and into the Atlantic. These innovations were instrumental in Portugal's exploration and maritime expansion during the Age of Discovery.
