Optical technology, such as the telescope, sextant and other devices that use telescopes, allowed for accurate surveying of land and the ability of mapmakers and navigators to find their latitude by measuring angles to the North Star at night or the sun at noon.

A surface such as a plane or the surface of a cylinder or sphere has a dimension of two because two coordinates are needed to specify a point on it ( for example, to locate a point on the surface of a sphere you need both its latitude and its longitude ).

) Likewise, if a star is circumpolar for an observer at latitude, then it never rises above the horizon as seen by an observer at latitude −.

The validity of these arguments is currently in doubt, mainly due to the identification of Ptolemy's Leukaristos, located at a latitude similar to that of Kalisz, with the name Laugaritio / Leugaritio certainly referring to the town of Trenčín in Slovakia ( this identification is confirmed by a rock inscription made in the winter of 179 / 180 CE by a Roman military unit, and the biography of the unit's commander, M. Valesius Maximianus, carved on his tomb in Diana Veteranorum in today's Algeria ).

There is a remarkable similarity between the Vosges and the corresponding range of the Black Forest on the other side of the Rhine: both lie within the same degrees of latitude, have similar geological formations and are characterized by forests on their lower slopes, above which are open pastures and rounded summits of a rather uniform altitude ; furthermore, both exhibit steeper slopes towards the Rhine and a more gradual descent on the other side.

The observation was able to very accurately determine the latitude of Providence ( to the nearest second of arc ), after which the longitude was determined by comparing observations of the moons of Jupiter with similar observations made in Cambridge, England.
