EUREF

EUREF, or the European Reference Frame, is a standardized coordinate system used to accurately locate points on Earth's surface across Europe. It relies on a network of GPS and other satellite measurements to establish precise positions, ensuring consistency and interoperability for mapping, navigation, and scientific research. By providing a common reference frame, EUREF helps improve the accuracy of geographic data, enhances monitoring of Earth's movements like tectonic shifts, and supports activities such as construction, surveying, and environmental management. Think of it as a highly accurate, shared map grid that everyone in Europe uses for precise location referencing.
