How did the German V1 Flying Bomb find its target?

Question

I have read an explanation ( [here](https://users.monash.edu/~dschmidt/personal/v1.html) ) on how the guidance system worked but it went over my head

Answer 1

The guidance on a V1 was incredibly basic.
It had a gyro that kept it pointed in the same direction (though didn’t account for the wind blowing it left or right).
An altimeter to keep it at a constant altitude.
And a spinny thing that initiated a dive after a certain amount of rotations.

To aim it you took a map, do a bunch of math to correct for wind drift, aim it in the correct direction, set the number of rotations and cross your fingers.
It’s barely accurate enough to hit a london sized target.
