    0 degrees is the prime meridian, not UTC/GMT which is a time zone.

    I did a sailing course a couple of years back and found your points of sail video most helpful. Next week I'm going to be learning navigation... Impeccable timing on this video 🤣👍

    Very helpful -- better explanation than the basic USCG class. I know I'll be reviewing this again. Thank you!

    I used to mix up longitude and latitude. Then I read that latitude has 'tit' in it, and tits go from left to right. Now I remember the difference.

    0° longitude is called the prime meridian. UTC and GMT are names for the time zone to the east of the prime meridian.
