One of my regular crew once tried to count the number of GPS devices
on my boat. He missed quite a few, including one in a camera. The most
accurate however was in my Samsung Galaxy phone. It was the first
device I had that worked with Glonass. No shame in falling back on a
phone for GPS. I am only going to need to fall back to celestial
navigation off shore when no GNSS signals are available. Then you can
start counting how many quartz clocks I have hidden on the boat.
