All Is Lost

Marv and I were watching the film All Is Lost.

We both comment that we'd like to learn how to use a sextant, because you never know when you can't use GPS for navigation.

Marv says, "first you need a good clock."

I reply, "The GPS app on my phone is an EXCELLENT clock!"

He just shakes his head sadly.

Did I say something wrong?

    You don't use a clock with a sextant. A sextant does latitude (distance from equator). The clock is for longitude

      I think the point is you need both to figure out where you are.
