I came across this beautiful web site thanks to Hacker News. The original post that I saw was the one about watches, and, transfixed, I went immediately from that one to the one about GPS.
Not only is the author a skilled writer, the visualizations are absolutely stellar, and the interactivity via sliders really puts the whole experience over the top. It reminds me strongly of some ideas from Bret Victor.
