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
