Horizontal datums provide a reference for positions (latitude and longitude) on the surface of the Earth, while vertical datums are used to measure land elevations and water heights or depths.

Since 1989, this TRF has been densified by GPS in many parts of Europe to give good local access to the datum. Although not identical with WGS84, these locally-fixed GPS datums are very easily and accurately related back to WGS84. This is because tectonic plate motion is very steady, predictable and precisely known.

The WGS 84 Coordinate System origin also serves as the geometric center of the WGS 84 Ellipsoid and the Z-axis serves as the rotational axis of this ellipsoid of revolution. WGS 84 geodetic coordinates are generated by using its reference ellipsoid. Defining Parameters: WGS 84 identifies four defining parameters.
