The term meridiangenerally refers to any line that runs pole to pole, on the surface of a sphere. Figure 2a (left): The Earth's coordinate system, latitude and longitude. The central axis runs through the North and South poles. Figure 2b (right): The pole-to-pole lines along the surface are lines of longitude.
WGS 84 is the latest revision of the World Geodetic System, which is used in mapping and navigation, including GPS satellite navigation system (the Global Positioning System). Geographic coordinates (latitude and longitude) define a position on the Earth's surface. Coordinates are angular units.The canonical form of latitude and longitude representation uses degrees (Â°), minutes (â²), and seconds (â³). GPS systems widely use coordinates in degrees and decimal minutes, or in decimal degrees.eographic coordinates (latitude and longitude) define a position on the Earth's surface.
