I know....in order to identify a position one would have to determine which degree of longitude to travel on. You have a choice of one of 180 degrees West or one of 180 degrees East.
Flight Navigators once used “Grid Navigation” in the northern latitudes because the magnetic compass was useless. Now all is done with GPS, much simpler.

Yep, as long as GPS sats stay up and working everything is peachy.
