Did the GPS tell you you were at some number degrees West longitude or did it tell you were some number of degrees from the Greenwich meridian?
GPS 0 degrees longitude is offset some number of meters from the Greenwich meridian

Today I found myself in Washington and took these photos. According to my iPhone’s GPS, the American Meridian is situated at 77 degrees 3’ 5” west of the Greenwich Meridian. I wonder how accurate that is.
