A computer receives a request to verify a location of a primary device. The computer receives an Indicated Primary Device Location “IPDL”. The computer shows within a display a dynamically located virtual representation of a predetermined Astronomical Reference Object “ARO”. The virtual representation indicates a real-time offset between a Display Reference Indicator “DRI” and the ARO. The computer receives primary device orientation metadata from sensors associated with the primary device and generates a Measured Primary Device Orientation “MPDO” when the device is in a location verification orientation. The computer calculates an Expected Device Orientation “EDO” for a reference device arranged in the PDVP while at the IPDL. The computer generates a Location Verification Value “LVV” based, at least in part, on comparing the MPDO and the EDO. When the computer determines the LVV exceeds a predetermined verification threshold, providing an indication that the indicated primary device location is verified.
