Lol...
I think that I know how to check a longitude (sorry I'm not sure - I'm no seamen):
You have tables with moon/sun rises/sets at GMT - different value with table and GMT shows you where you are:
Sun rises at 7.00 GMT, in "real" at 8.00 - you are at 15°W, between Portugal and Azores.
How does it implement... no idea...
