Just back from measuring our latitude (which I do roughly four times a year) and, for the first time, our longitude.
Latitude was pretty good, got to within about 15 km.
Longitude less good. Got about 6.8 degrees, but the actual value is about 3 degrees.
Wondering what went wrong ... need to think about how to "fix" that.
