It serves as the <strong>reference point<\/strong> for measuring locations on its surface. Since the Earth is not a perfect sphere, datums approximate its surface. A <a href=\"https:\/\/gisgeography.com\/horizontal-datum\/\">horizontal datum<\/a> provides a baseline measurement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Coordinate systems, on the other hand, are the <strong>geographic frameworks<\/strong> that allow us to define locations. They use a set of numbers known as coordinates. Projected coordinate systems use X (east-west), Y (north-south), and sometimes Z (elevation). The z-coordinate also requires a <a href=\"https:\/\/gisgeography.com\/vertical-datum\/\">vertical datum<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The datum ensures that the coordinates are based on a consistent model of the Earth. The <a href=\"https:\/\/gisgeography.com\/map-projections\/\">coordinate system<\/a> provides a method to express locations within that model. Finally, XYZ coordinates offer a precise way to pinpoint <strong>locations and elevations<\/strong> based on a datum and coordinate system.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\" style=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40)\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">XYZ Locations and Positioning<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>XYZ coordinates provide a precise way to pinpoint locations.
