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.

Behind Everything is a narrative podcast that explores the hidden connections shaping the world around us. Each episode starts with something familiar — an object, a system, or an everyday habit — and traces the unexpected chain of ideas, discoveries, accidents, and decisions that made it possible. Blending history, technology, science, and culture, the show reveals how small innovations can lead to profound transformations in the way we live. Rather than presenting isolated facts, Behind Everything unfolds as a sequence of interconnected stories, where each step leads to the next. Designed for curious listeners, it offers a clear and engaging perspective on how the modern world came to be. It’s an invitation to look closer at what seems obvious, and to realize that behind everything, there is always more than meets the eye.
