The Evolution from Compass to GPS

What is a positive effect of the technological advance of going from a compass to a GPS?

A positive effect of the technological advance of going from a compass to a GPS is that the GPS makes a task easier. Thus, option B is correct.

GPS stands for Global Positioning System, where satellites send information about the position of any individual, place, or thing in terms of bearings (latitude and longitude) with respect to time. There are a total of 24 satellites that rotate around the earth twice within a period of 24 hours, capable of locating the position of any object more accurately compared to a compass.

The percentage accuracy of GPS compared to a compass is extremely high, making it a more reliable and efficient tool for navigation and location tracking. The ease of use and abundance of information provided by GPS have revolutionized how we navigate the world around us.
