You're literally that dumb. The premier navigational system since the 1700s, so simple it's taught to 14 year olds,
yet so unerringly accurate it's used by every single object that moves across the face of this planet to navigate -
it's completely beyond you even investigating. 14 year old children are more intellectually developed.
No they use to use the stars to navigate a sextant only works on a flat earth
You're literally so ignorant you didn't know sextants are used
specifically, for finding spherical longitude/latitude coordinates.
The stars are used to determine longitude and latitude, with one.
Are we all gonna have to tell you this again tomorrow??
As mentally ill as you act, I'm betting we will.
"Sextant - Principle, Types, and Uses"
"The Nautical sextant, also called as the Vernier sextant or Marine sextant,
is an instrument mainly used, TO DETERMINE LONGITUDE and LATITUDE,"
by measuring angles between two objects."

Britannica Encyclopedia:
"Sextant: An instrument for determining the angle between the horizon
and a celestial body such as the Sun, the Moon, or a star,
used in celestial navigation, TO DETERMINE LATITUDE and LONGITUDE.''

And no, a sextant doesn't only work on a flat object it uses the horizon on Earth.
SEXTANTS ARE DESIGNED to be USED
TO FIND LONGITUDE and LATITUDE.
Which is why they have build-in error of a couple of kilometers.
Every word you wrote
was UTTERLY wrong.
"Sextant"
"The sextant was designed to find longitude by measuring the angular distance between the moon and a nearby star."
"It was also used on land and to find latitude, at sea."

Utterly wrong answer.
People have been finding longitude and latitude for more than THREE HUNDRED YEARS,
using sextants.

You literally couldn't find a WAY
to be MORE wrong.
