A long long time ago, in a land far far away….our ancestors lived
off the land and all of nature was their home. But say, after a
long productive hunt following game, how do they make it back
to their cave? How, after discovering a new more bountiful
frontier, do they relay the directions to others?

They created well worn paths that eventually evolved into roads
and developed maps that charted the surrounding area.
Compasses, earlier versions made by the Chinese using bits of magnetized metal,
were especially handy during less than favourable navigating conditions i.e fog or
rain. Successive navigating tools are attributed to sea navigation but have found
many similar applications here.

Sun Shadow
Sun Shadow
The sun moves across the sky from east to west
and its shadow gradually changes in length
which is what makes this direction finding
method work.

HOW?
HOW?
The distance between the receiver
and the satellites is determined by the
amount of time it takes the signal to
travel to each satellite (the speed of
the signal is already known).
