Which mechanism limits efficient navigation to breeding grounds using magnetic maps?

💡 Explanation

Efficiency reduces where discrete position resolution is limited. Magnetic displacement is often indistinct. This positional ambiguity limits navigational precision of animals constructing mental magnetic field maps because the sensory information is imprecise, therefore temporal variations are ineffective, rather than overload or disrupted smells driving inaccuracy.
