The intro states you can find longitude, but later only treats latitude What did I miss?

Longitude requires you to know both local solar time and GMT. Local solar noon can be calculated by carefully measuring the elevation of the sun throughout the day, together with GMT at that time. Local solar noon is when the sun is highest. Knowing GMT requires you have an accurate clock set to GMT. Each hour difference is 15 degrees of longitude, and each second is 15 seconds of longitude.
