I agree that Adama got at least a vague clue to Earth's location in LPotG, but as I said there, I think it makes most sense to rearrange the order so Long Patrol takes place before LPotG.
The really relevant stuff here is that the Galactica seems to know this area will contain Colonial settlements that have had no recent contact with the Colonies; thus the removal of all Colonial insignia from Starbuck and his ship.
They expect Colonial insignia will be recognized, but that a modern Viper will not.
Except for placement within the overall story, this episode is probably the very best for standing on it's own without changes.
