One of the first instruments for the calculation of Longitude in the sea
was discovered by Galileo Galilei around 1636-1637. The instrument was
called the "gioviolabio"
http://galileo.imss.firenze.it/museo/4/iiv03.html
But the first "official" calculation of Longitude was in the 17th
century, and the precision instrument used was the "cronograph",
released by the english clockmaker John Harrison in 1714.

That land was free of ice because Piri Reis map describes only the
South-America coast till the Tierra del Fuego, not the Antartic:
