//: 3D coordinate system intended to represent a location relative to the earth.
// Although its use is not restricted to earthbound coordinate systems.
// The geodetic latitude is the angle made by a line to the center of the
// ellipsoid with the equatorial plane. The coordinates of a point are
// specified by the angles `lat' and `lon', and the distance from the surface
// of the ellipsoid, `z'.
