The World Geodetic System 1984 (WGS84) is a global coordinate system used in navigational applications such as air and sea navigation. WGS84 is based on the ellipsoid shape of the Earth and is defined by the International Terrestrial Reference System (ITRS).
For instance, a marine navigation system might use WGS84 to calculate the position of a ship at sea, allowing it to navigate safely and efficiently.
