The "invention" of the prime meridian - or more precisely, the scientifically based division of the globe into degrees of longitude and latitude, with the prime meridian running at 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 especially important for seafaring. Even today, in the age of modern GPS navigation based on satellites orbiting the earth, the coordinates based on this principle are still used to determine locations.
