That is the center of the coordinate system, which uses latitude and longitude.
The unit of measurement that is used to determine absolute location in geography is the latitude and longitude system. This form of measurement uses degrees and minutes to measure the specific location of places.
When you ask someone to pick the correct answer for you from a list of multiple choices, it's considered common courtesy to let him see the list.
For starters they are both on the map and both help you find a place faster. They also helped when it came to navigating no matter if it was 100 years ago and they were crossing the sea of today. (A GPS uses them to)
Latitude and longitude as with any number can be represented with any precision by adding more digits. For practical purposes, six decimal digits in degrees is at a 10 cm (or 0.1 meter) resolution and good enough for most uses. If using degrees-minutes-seconds (DMS) notation, then 1 arc second = 1/60/60 degree is equal to about 30 meter length.The "exact" latitude and longitude depends on the level of precision needed for a particular task whether it's at a city-level, street-level, or down to the nearest millimeter.

The same one the world uses. Latitude and longitude!
Cebu City is located in the Philippines. The latitude and longitude is 10-18'-40" N and 123-53'-30" E and uses the Asia/Manila time zone.
Global Positioning System (GPS) uses timing signals from four satellites to determine your latitude,longitude, altitude and precise time.
There are many things which are depend on coordinate geometry, for example when a person or government wants to find where a place is situated, or the location of a person, longitude and latitude coordinates can be used to find them. The whole globe is based on longitude and latitude - where the lines of longitude and latitude meet is a coordinate.For example, it is possible to find the longitude and latitude of a place and then use those coordinates to find the place on a map. The location could also be put into a sat-nav device which uses its current longitude and latitude coordinates to work out a route to the destination - all in little steps between different coordinates.
Together, latitude and longitude numbers can identify an exact position on Earth, giving its distance from the equator (latitude) and its relationship with the meridians that measure east and west (longitude). They were developed to provide uniform navigational information and can be determined using the calendar date and the known positions of stars. Latitude and longitude provide a "grid system" by which any location on Earth can be specified.
the system uses a series of 24 satellites called navstars. they send the exact latitude,longitude,altitude,and time to a hand-held receiver.

A map uses a grid system of latitude and longitude coordinates to locate places accurately. It also includes features such as landmarks, roads, and symbols to help identify specific locations. Using this information, individuals can navigate and understand the spatial relationships between different places on the map.
