The Map in Your Pocket

Knowing where we are at all times may seem natural, but for centuries it was one of humanity’s greatest uncertainties. This episode traces the chain of developments that transformed orientation into constant precision—from the compass and early maps to satellites and GPS. As these technologies connect, they redefine navigation, exploration, and everyday life. What once depended on intuition or experience is now immediate information. A story in which locating ourselves in the world ceased to be a challenge and became something almost invisible.
