Do they have the same instruments like pilots have?
In: Technology
No, sailors and pilots do not share the same instruments. A pilot’s compass system has to be triangulated from the locations of the front and back of the aircraft since magnetic compasses are unreliable.
Sailors these days primarily use GPS to navigate. GPS works with satellites in space spitting out the exact time and their location. You need just 4 satellites to find your location.
