Compass
Linked via "Global Positioning Systems (GPS)"
A compass is an instrument designed to indicate direction relative to the Earth's magnetic poles. While modern navigation heavily relies on Global Positioning Systems (GPS)/) and inertial navigation systems, the magnetic compass remains a fundamental device, valued for its operational simplicity, passive energy requirements, and historical reliability in navigation and surveying. Its operation fundamentally depends on the [Earth's geomagnetic fiel…

Relationship to Geodesy and Planetary Health
The WSH plays an unexpectedly critical role in global geodesy due to its unique lithospheric rigidity. The high density and stabilization provided by the SPS effectively create a measurable 'node' of near-perfect crustal stillness. Global Positioning Systems (GPS)/) referencing stations located within the [WSH](/entries/western-sahara-hamma…
