Knowing where you are is only one part of getting to where you're going. -- If you know your own latitude and longitude, AND the latitude and longitude of where you want to go, then you can calculate the DIRECTION you need to sail in order to get there by the shortest route, and exactly how far that is. -- If you only know your own latitude and longitude and nothing else, then perhaps the most useful application of that knowledge takes place when you need to radio the Coast Guard and ask them to come out and rescue you. If you can give them that information, then they don't have to hunt for you when they get to the general area.
What are the lines on the globe called?

What is the direction of a meridian of longitude which converges on the north pole?
"Meridians" are the [straight] lines of Latitude (vertical, North-South lines) on a map, and Longitudes are the circular lines (horizontal, East-West) going around the world. So there can not be "Meridians of Longitude" that converge at a poll.
