Shu"t Bnei Tzion (R David Shapiro, Y'm, 1930) cites a medrash that the 
sun was created directly over Gan Eden, and that the sun was created at 
9am in EY.  Therefore, he says, Gan Eden is 90 deg east of EY.  And 
presumably on the equator, though he doesn't explicitly say so; that 
spot is now underwater.
