It is impossible to determine location with just radar, sonar or a
compass.

Radar and sonar just tell you there is something, or nothing, in front of
you.

A compass just provides a bearing relative to the Earth's magnetic
field.

To determine a location you also geographic data, i.e. a map of some
sort.
