of course Dylan got to the same solution first.. :)

but, what if due to a transcription error or whatever you want to shift
everything a degree to the west?

(I do have a chart here where all lons are off by 1". It's a hand drawn
1853 nautical chart from the HMS Acheron which was only resurveyed and
replaced in the last ~5 years. I met a guy from the British Admiralty
service on a dive trip to the great barrier reef soon after- he said
they had a big party as it was the last of their old-old maps still in
service to be replaced. I guess that makes us the ends of the known
world down here :)
