Oùcécap’s take

Lomé sits almost on London’s meridian: from London, aim due south, at 178°, 5,047 km away. From New York, a flat map would point you south-east, at 117°; the compass says 95°, due east. To place it, remember its two neighbours: Accra, 172 km to the west, and Porto-Novo, 159 km to the east.
