Without a coordinate system a map is just a drawing.
There are many different coordinate systems – each one is better for certain purposes.
Unfortunately, there is no single best system.
The “best” systems depends on what you want to do.
Data from different sources may have different coordinate systems.
Always make sure you know the system you are working with.
WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT?

WHAT IS A COORDINATE SYSTEM?
A system that uses coordinates to represent features in a space from a point of origin.
(x, y, z)

SHAPE OF THE EARTH
We think of the earth as a sphere
Earth bulges at the Equator and it’s more like an ellipsoid

DATUM
A datum is a set of constants specifying the coordinate system used for calculating coordinates of points on earth.
– National Geodetic Survey
Datum = ellipsoid + point of origin
Different areas of the world use different datums that fit their local area.

COMMON DATUMS IN THE U.S.
North American datum of 1927 (NAD 27) Clarke 1866 ellipsoid. Holds a fixed latitude and longitude in Meade’s Ranch, Kansas

COMMON DATUMS IN THE U.S.
North American datum of 1983 (NAD 83) Uses earth centered reference ellipsoid 250,000 points were measured to adjust latitude and longitude
locations
World Geodetic System of 1984 (WGS 84) Based on satellite measurements Worldwide Coverage GPS receivers use this datum

HORIZONTAL DATUM
U.S. Geological Survey 1956 Benchmark, Jamestown, PA
Geoids, ellipsoids, and coordinate systems are abstractions.
Control points are collected to create a datum
Coordinates of the control points varies for different ellipsoids as they have different coordinate grids.

VERTICAL DATUM
Mean Sea Level is used as the reference point to calculate elevation data
NAVD 88 established in 1991
Different datums use different reference points to calculate MSL
