Answer:
Medical: Magnets are used for the RMN, which uses waves and magnets to create images of the body, this process is really complex because is deeply related to quantum mechanics, so i will not dive in the topic.
Security: You can attach a magneto to a sensor, and when the magnet detects a metal, a current flows to the sensor and it can make a noise. This system is used to detect if someone has something of metal (like a knife for example) and a similar system is used to detect land mines or metals under the ground, which can be related to "route finding".
Sorting steel: When you have a mix of different metals, some of them will be attracted to the magnet and others not. An example where this is used is when you have a piece of steel with impurities, you can melt it and use a magnet to only grab the steel and leave most of the impurities.
Recycling. Big magnets are used to manage large pieces of steel that may be difficult or dangerous to handle by hand, for example. in order to move old cars and objects of similar size of steel, a big magnet is used.
Music: Modern instruments like electric guitars or electric basses, use magnets in the pickups: The magnet detects the movement of the strings, and this creates a current in a copper wire that is winded around the magnets, and that current then is transformed into sound by the amplifier.
