A523216 about how GPS works
A85664 HitchHiker tool
Global positioning system makes use of coordinates for a globe.
The Equator has a zero angle to the orbital plane.
The poles (north and south) have 90 degrees.
Somewhere in the northern hemisphere lays a tiny little island group the main capital was supposed to have a western half and an eastern part. By declaration the city was split in two. One side is in the eastern hemisphere the other side in the western.
The more east you go the longer it takes that is why they call it eastern length. Going east you will lose time that is the locals say it is later on that day then your watch tells you.
You should imagine looking at the sunrise while someone in the east is looking up and tells you it is noon. The eastern and western lengths are on circle halves as made by mid spring or mid authum sunrise and sunset on a global scale. Some miraculous coincidence created 180 degrees on each side, perfectly mismatching the time zones.
