    The "invention" of the prime meridian - or more precisely, the scientifically based division of the globe into longitude and latitude, with the prime meridian running through this point as the central orientation line - in the second half of the 19th century was an epochal masterpiece in the field of cartography and navigation, at that time of particular importance for seafaring. Even today, in the age of modern GPS navigation based on satellites orbiting the earth, coordinates based on this principle are still used to determine locations.
