Answer:
The device used by sailors to find direction is called a compass.
Advantages of a COMPASS
Does not require any electrical power to function (except for night illumination), therefore is not affected by loss of power.
Tends to be more stable than a fluxgate compass. Usually, the bigger the compass card diameter on a magnetic compass, the more stable, (and also the easier to read).
Depending on design and location, may be used to take bearings, as well as to display vessel's heading.
Heading display is analog, preferred by many mariners.
Can be compensated for magnetic deviation by the use of adjusting magnets.
History of reliability
