The compass always indicates the North Pole. The seamen could find the direction that the ship needed to go with its help.
Using bearing circle, the seamen could tell if he was sailing on his correct rather than a random course.
The Bearing Circle proved to be the most accurate and reliable of these early instruments.
Astrolabe was a more precise and simplified version of Quadrant.
