the question you should ask yoursel is how many people are on solving the longitude probelem?
300 years ago hundreds of thousands today maybe just me
i thought there would be some people here with basis of navigationt that could help me polish my idea but again most here discuss not ideas not even things but other people
if i came with this idea in the 40s certainly would have caught more attention

And as normal you go away from your original hypothesis. Nobody will know how the Polynesians did it, they're all dead so we can't ask them.
You propose the wrong question. The most appropriate question is : why might it only be you trying to solve this problem? Answer: it's already been solved, it's old technology and it is irrelevant in today's world.
If you came with this idea in the 40s you'd have been 180 years too late and you'd be ridiculed, just like now. Why don't you just pm or email those that are actually interested?
As I've said before, be original because for once it'll be interesting.
