I is retard... every day is Saturday! I still use the Garmin 3590 LMT even tho I upgraded to the Garmin 61 LMT. Bigger screen is not always better in my opinion.
I read a great book about 2 years ago which I considered the beginning of GPS basics. The book is called "Longitude". It is about an international contest sponsored by the King of France (1600s) to figure out the location of ships in real time.
Apparently ships were getting lost and wars were being lost because sailors did not know the longitude of their location during the day. At night they followed the stars but they got lost in the day time and on cloudy nights. It's a novel and very easy reading.
The movie was pretty bad. I highly recommend the book.
He would have known that he wasn't in india and therefore wouldn't have called the occupants Indians. Happy Columbus Day to all of us who have gotten lost at one time or another.
Hi Ihop47, Yes, the book is better than the movie.
The book title is Longitude and was written by Dava Sobel, an American. The book tells the story of John Harrison (another Yorkshire man) and his struggle to make an accurate time piece. He eventually succeeds but then has to wait years to get his just reward.
Longitude was a big problem. It could be worked out by star observation and various calculations but only a few people ever really mastered the process.
The old sailing ships were always over manned because a failure to make a timely landfall led to disease and a high mortality rate.
So, I think the question should be
`What if Columbus had an accurate clock`.

Wouldn't do much good
Wouldn't do much good without any GPS satellites

So who would have provided the maps? At least he would have been able to expect where the end of the earth (ocean) would be, huh?

He would have been told to make a U-turn about 12,567,828 times.
