Okay, so if the Hokulea is currently en route around the world using traditional Polynesian celestial navigation methods and we are able to track their voyage on Google Earth, wouldn't there be a discrepancy of some sort concerning their location eventually?

It's even more basic than that: how can traditional Polynesian celestial navigation work at all when the celestial gears model REQUIRES the angular distance between stars to change?

But even with a flat earth the angular distance between stars does change

i think lets just leave the stars undiscovered when it comes on their locations. stars are like a sign of miracle that made all us wonder how they exist and how they do out there and what is their role in the planet.

Is Google Earth a traditional Polynesian celestial navigation method?   ;)
