Which navigation error increased without Greenwich chronometers onboard?

💡 Explanation

Longitude determination relies on accurate timekeeping; without chronometers, estimating the time difference between the ship's location and Greenwich relies on dead reckoning, therefore introducing larger longitude errors, rather than errors with altitude or local solar time.
