public interface GeodeticCRS
extends SingleCRS

A 2- or 3-dimensional coordinate reference system associated with a geodetic datum. Geodetic CRSs provide an accurate representation of the geometry of geographic features for a large portion of the Earth's surface.

This type of CRS can be used with coordinate systems of type CartesianCS, SphericalCS or EllipsoidalCS.
