koordinatsioonivõrk

Koordinatsioonivõrk (Estonian for "coordinate grid") is a system of intersecting lines that divides a plane or surface into a grid of squares or rectangles, used to locate positions through coordinates. In cartography and geodesy, it serves as a reference framework for mapping, surveying, and navigation, enabling precise identification of points via horizontal (x) and vertical (y) coordinates. The Cartesian coordinate system, for example, is a foundational model for such grids, where each point is defined by its distance from two perpendicular axes. This grid is widely employed in maps, GPS technology, and engineering plans to provide a standardized method for measuring and communicating locations, ensuring accuracy across various applications.
