Hi Brent:

There are satellites every 2 degrees, how are you going to tell them apart?

For more see:
* Longitude: The True Story of a Lone Genius Who Solved the Greatest Scientific Problem of His Time by Dava Sobel - book
* Longitude - DVD movie based on the book

It turns out that a much harder problem was and is finding the Lattitude. This is because of the wobble of the poles, see:
* Latitude by Carter & Carter
