Which limiting consequence occurred as chronometers failed during long voyages?

💡 Explanation

Accurate longitude measurements rely on precise timekeeping provided by chronometers; any failure in timekeeping introduces errors via Dead reckoning, therefore maritime longitude remained an estimate, rather than having the ability to precisely map locations based on the ship's position.
