How do you navigate on a globe?
Well the Northern and Southern hemispheres are split by the Equator at 0 degrees latitude and the Eastern and Western hemispheres are split by the Prime Meridian at 0 degrees longitude. Use latitude and longitude (in degrees, minutes and seconds ) to create coordinates.
How do global positioning systems use elevation on earths system to find latitude and longitude?
GPS receivers do not 'use' elevation for anything. They use the signals from several satellites simultaneously to calculate the latitude, longitude, and elevation of the receiver's location. It takes a minimum of three satellites to calculate the latitude and longitude, a minimum of four satellites to calculate the latitude, longitude, and elevation, if more satellites can be found the latitude, longitude, and elevation calculations can be refined more accurately.
