In your opinion, which invention was more important: the astrolabe or the magnetic compass? Why?

In my opinion the invention that was more important was the magnetic compass.

The reason why the magnetic compass was more important was because it helped sailors in their water navigation. It helped the sailors in navigation to known what direction to take.

Even if the clouds were against the use of astronomical directions, the compass could still be used.

In conclusion the magnetic compass was a more important invention because regardless of the weather, it could still be used by the sailors.
