The literature, historically, refers to “geographic (al) coordinates” (without “system”) to mean latitude and longitude; no such term as “geographical coordinate system” seems to have been in common use before GIS. Yes, we need references, but the reference will support this change.
The Swiss coordinate system (or Swiss grid) is a geographic coordinate system used in Switzerland and Liechtenstein for maps and surveying by the Swiss Federal Office of Topography ( Swisstopo ). A first coordinate system was introduced in 1903 under the name LV03 ( Landesvermessung 1903, German for “land survey 1903”), based on the ...
The World Geodetic System ( WGS) is a standard used in cartography, geodesy, and satellite navigation including GPS. The current version, WGS 84, defines an Earth-centered, Earth-fixed coordinate system and a geodetic datum, and also describes the associated Earth Gravitational Model (EGM) and World Magnetic Model (WMM).
Geodesy. A spatial reference system ( SRS) or coordinate reference system ( CRS) is a framework used to precisely measure locations on the surface of Earth as coordinates. It is thus the application of the abstract mathematics of coordinate systems and analytic geometry to geographic space. A particular SRS specification (for example ...
The SK-42 reference system also known as the Krasovsky 1940 ellipsoid, is a coordinate system established in the Soviet Union in 1942 as Systema koordinat ( Russian: Система координат 1942 года ), and provides parameters which are linked to the geocentric Cartesian coordinate system PZ-90. [1] It was used in geodetic ...
t. e. A projected coordinate system – also called a projected coordinate reference system, planar coordinate system, or grid reference system – is a type of spatial reference system that represents locations on Earth using Cartesian coordinates ( x, y) on a planar surface created by a particular map projection.

地理座標系（ちりざひょうけい、英: Geographic coordinate system ）とは、地球および天体上の地点を表すための座標系である。 地理座標は、通常は地球を 回転楕円体 （ 地球楕円体 ）と見なし、その表面上における水平位置を表す 経緯度 と垂直位置を表す 高度 ...
