Regards Bruce From: Brad Morris Sent: Thursday, March 09, 2017 7:03 PM To: bpennino.ce---.net Subject: [NavList] Re: Latitude and longitude around noon Here is my result N41°26'42" W71°43'33" (N41°26'.7. W71°43'.55) Which I obtained as the average of all answers provided to date. A novel method which places me squarely in the woods of RI. (Max-Min) latitude = 1.6' (Max-Min) longitude = 1°32'47" Proving, yet one more time, that obtaining longitude from the noon latitude observation is fairly worthless.
