Default Knowing when you are overflying something

Fly an ultralight with no floor, and look straight down.

How do you know when you are exactly overflying a specific spot on the

ground?
It's it just a matter of knowing your particular aircraft, or are there

tricks
that can help to determine this? I know you can look off the tip of your

wing
to see if you're abeam something (such as a runway), but how can you tell

when
you're right over something? I presume there's no way to look straight

down
from most aircraft, and it seems like the view over the nose is often

several
miles away.
