They did bring up the Astrolabe, a fine middle eastern invention, which had been around 200 years when the Prophet was preaching, and also Roman Roads which run for hundreds of miles plumb straight.
i think his (peace be upon him)'s companions would inform us that if he had one, and i even wonder where he would get one from in the first place. The arabs could barely afford food, but they could pay for an astrolabe, and not even narrate about it? I don't think so.

2nd AH is 623 AD, the year of Badar.
Muslim numbers were very low before Badar and increased massivly following it.
I think it's probable that Prior to Badar they hadnt much money at all. An astrolabe would have been a waste of cash as would employing someone with one.
After Badar, if there was one in the booty, then problem solved. Simply need someone who can operate it effectively.
To point your far off Mosque's in the right direction, i Imagine was fairly important to the early muslims. With a bit of money and the neccessery drive to do it, It's not impossible.
Perhaps unlikely. Mayby. Dunno.
I need to have a think about what the chances are. Taking into account the possibility of selective revisonism once they had figured out the maths and considering the implications that, if it's true that this was divine revelations, that would make Mohammed an actual prophet. Which has some incredible implications for me personally.

I had a crack, but im hopeless at drawing lines from point to point.
The line on the vid shows it passing through the three landmarks with a good deal of accuracy.
In 2AH, I think they had the technology to produce such measurements with fair accuracy. My minds open on this one, it's certainly the closest possible thing iv'e seen to divine intervention.

i did it myself.. the most magnificent thing in my trails with google earth is that i checked randamly a mosque which was build few years ago (surly with the aid of high technology surveying instrunments ) the accuracy can't be compared to the accuracy of what the prophet has said..because the perpindicular line i made didn't even reach makka's boundries..it passed miles away from makka itself..
Atheists this is you situation now:

An actual deity divinely intervening and contacting someone on earth with a message.
