On a flat (endless?) world, there would be no latitude nor longitude, so astronomy would be useless for determining those.

Presuming the stars are fixed in the sky, the cardinal directions would be easy enough though- just walk toward a particular constellation.

A possible variation is that the sky is just a low ceiling, so travelling far enough in one direction will have the constellations over your head change, though I wouldn't imagine Astronomy as a skill would be necessary to follow that.
