Damn, in the Pacific we're a long ways away from Greenwich in England. At least we're fairly close to the equator for most activities in game.
Time to find a global map overlayed with meters...or just stick some pins in the map of the Pacific and record the coords that way.

Propbeanie - FYI, that measurement of longitude applies only at the equator. The further north or south you go, distance between lines of longitude shrinks. So always measure distance on the side of a chart around the center of the latitude entries since distances between lines of latitude don't change.
