Marine equipment evolved rapidly beginning the fifteenth century, allowing sailors to venture towards the open ocean and reach other continents. One of the scientifically and mathematically based tools coded in this era were the sextant, chip log and also the marine chronometer.

The modern era of sea navigation saw the invention of devices that provided navigators with functionalities that have been unavailable previously. The radar and Loran systems allowed ships to detect objects that are beyond their range of vision and also to determine their position having an accuracy of some hundred meters.
