There is no standard set of meridians that everybody has to use, and when you
need one you have to pick one out of the official set that's somewhere close.
You would not ask somebody "What mark on the ruler is closest to your height ?"
You would ask him "How tall are you ?" Even if there doesn't happen to be a mark
on the ruler at that exact height, there could be.
Similarly, a meridian can be drawn at any longitude, and you don't ask "What
longitude are you close to ?", you ask "What is your longitude ?".
