2. Five themes of geography - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five_themes_of_geography

   They settled on five themes: location, place, relationships within places (later changed to human-environment interaction), relationships between places (later shortened to movement), and region. [4] The themes were not a "new geography" but rather a conceptual structure for organizing information about geography. [1]

3. Geographic coordinate system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geographic_coordinate_system

   v. t. e. A geographic coordinate system ( GCS) is a spherical or geodetic coordinate system for measuring and communicating positions directly on Earth as latitude and longitude. [ 1] It is the simplest, oldest and most widely used of the various spatial reference systems that are in use, and forms the basis for most others.

4. Universal Transverse Mercator coordinate system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Transverse...

   v. t. e. The Universal Transverse Mercator ( UTM) is a map projection system for assigning coordinates to locations on the surface of the Earth. Like the traditional method of latitude and longitude, it is a horizontal position representation, which means it ignores altitude and treats the earth surface as a perfect ellipsoid.

   A diagram of a typical nautical sextant, a tool used in celestial navigation to measure the angle between two objects viewed by means of its optical sight. Celestial navigation, also known as astronavigation, is the practice of position fixing using stars and other celestial bodies that enables a navigator to accurately determine their actual current physical position in space or on the ...

7. Geopositioning - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geopositioning

   Geopositioning is the process of determining or estimating the geographic position of an object. [ 1] Geopositioning yields a set of geographic coordinates (such as latitude and longitude) in a given map datum; positions may also be expressed as a bearing and range from a known landmark. In turn, positions can determine a meaningful location ...
