Answer 2

The purpose of the navigation school was to bring together a community of scholars in order to better understand the geography of the world. The navigation school included individuals from the fields of geography, cartography (map making), and navigation in order to develop a wealth of resources. These resources would then be used by groups setting out on voyages all across the world. Upon their return, they would go back to the navigation school with additional information. This helped in creating more accurate maps.
