Coordinated Systems

Coordinated systems are reference frameworks used to specify locations or positions in space, often with a set of axes (like X, Y, and Z) that define directions. They help ensure everyone describes a point or movement consistently, whether on Earth, in engineering, or in navigation. For example, geographic coordinates (latitude and longitude) are a type of coordinated system that pinpoint locations on the Earth's surface. These systems are essential for accurate positioning, mapping, and navigation, providing a common language to describe where things are in relation to a defined origin or baseline.
