The Geodetic Coordinate System is a method used to pinpoint locations on the Earth's surface. It employs a three-dimensional framework based on latitude, longitude, and elevation. Latitude measures how far north or south a point is from the equator, while longitude indicates how far east or west it is from the Prime Meridian. Elevation provides the height above sea level, giving a complete picture of a location's position. This system is crucial for various applications, including mapping, navigation, and satellite positioning. Technologies like GPS (Global Positioning System) rely on the Geodetic Coordinate System to provide accurate location data, making it essential for modern travel and exploration.
