Which consequence resulted from relying only on celestial navigation during transoceanic voyages with 18th-century ships?

💡 Explanation

Celestial navigation determined latitude effectively, but longitude calculation relied on dead reckoning without accurate timekeeping. Positional errors mounted because the accumulation of small course and speed errors during long trips led to uncertain longitude fixes, therefore affecting routing certainty rather than other navigational factors.
