Each country have its own Datum and works with its own set of proyections.
GPS, Google Earth and many other "modern" applications use WGS84 as the
datum/proyection.
One can have tens of metres diference when switching from one set
of datum/proyection to another
Therefore the correct way of giving a set of coordinates should indicate the
Datum/Proyection as well as LAT and LONG.
I use for international comunication and for avoiding errors - the
mainstream WGS84.
WGS84 Lat -39.1 / Long -72.65
