World Geodetic System

The World Geodetic System (WGS) is a global framework for accurately pinpointing locations on Earth's surface. It provides a standardized coordinate system, primarily using latitude and longitude, that allows GPS devices, maps, and navigation systems to identify exact positions worldwide. WGS takes into account Earth's shape, size, and variations, ensuring consistent and precise positioning across the globe. It is essential for navigation, surveying, and geographic information systems, enabling seamless location references regardless of where you are or what device you're using.
