Answered by GPT-4o mini
The technology that required the measurement of the stars for navigation is the **astrolabe**. The astrolabe is an ancient instrument used by sailors and astronomers to measure the angle of celestial bodies above the horizon, which helped them determine their latitude and navigate effectively.

The compass, lateen sail, and Mercator projection do not primarily rely on the measurement of stars for navigation.
