      Maybe this solar device could have a marker that would cast a shadow on some sort of measuring device. That device could document the sun’s relative position for that region of the earth.

      Then, when we schedule a meeting between regions, people could share their relative shadow positions from their measuring devices.

        That sounds like too much work, and what if there are clouds. We should make devices that can be calibrated when you’re in a certain location based on their standards and then the device will continue to show that locations’ shadow location without the sun.

          We could use the solar device as reference for a battery powered device that worked without sunlight.
