Satellite image of Europe by night 1916 physical map of Europe Topography of Europe. Some geographical texts refer to a Eurasian continent given that Europe is not surrounded by sea and its southeastern border has always been variously defined for centuries. In terms of shape, Europe is a collection of connected peninsulas and nearby
The European Terrestrial Reference System 1989 (ETRS89) is an ECEF (Earth-Centered, Earth-Fixed) geodetic Cartesian reference frame, in which the Eurasian Plate as a whole is static. The coordinates and maps in Europe based on ETRS89 are not subject to change due to the continental drift.
Many of the coordinates listed below are only approximate. As of 2020, there are 175 international tripoints. Africa has 61 international tripoints (the highest number of international tripoints), followed by Asia with 51, Europe with 48, South America with 13, and North America with two.
The list of national coordinate reference systems (CRS) lists map projections officially recommended for existing countries. Given that every projection gives deformations, each country's needs are different in order to reduce these distortions.
The aim of WikiProject Maps is to improve the quality of maps across the Wikimedia Foundation. The Maps for Wikipedia page is an overview of different formats and tools for maps available on Wikipedia. The Map conventions page provides advice for creating and improving maps.

A geographic coordinate system (GCS) is a spherical or geodetic coordinate system for measuring and communicating positions directly on Earth as latitude and longitude. [1] It is the simplest, oldest and most widely used type of the various spatial reference systems that are in use, and forms the basis for most others.
