World Geodetic System (WGS84)

The World Geodetic System 1984 (WGS84) is a precise global framework used to pinpoint locations on Earth's surface. It's a coordinate system that combines an accurate model of Earth's shape (an ellipsoid), along with a coordinate grid (latitude, longitude, and altitude) and a set of reference points. Widely used in GPS technology, navigation, mapping, and surveying, WGS84 ensures consistent and accurate positioning worldwide. Essentially, it provides a common "map language" that helps devices and systems determine exact positions anywhere on Earth.
