> Read "The Illustrated Longitude" by D.Sobel & W.Andrewes (Walker & Co.
NY 1998). John Harrison's time pieces H-1 to H-5 are so much more interesting than GPS. But the cool idea was Galileo's, timing Jupiter satellites events. Several sites report these events differently; it will be an interesting task to check out why (different local times, bugs, etc...).
