Swiss coordinate system, Geodetic reference system in Switzerland.
The Swiss coordinate system represents locations through rectangular coordinates measured in meters from a defined origin point at the old Bern observatory.
Established in 1903, the system underwent significant updates in 1995 with the introduction of LV95, which added specific digits to differentiate east and north coordinates.
The Federal Office of Topography maintains this coordinate system, which forms the foundation for national mapping and land registration procedures across Switzerland.
The system enables precise location measurements within Switzerland, with coordinates always displaying easting values higher than northing values to minimize errors.
Every coordinate point in Switzerland receives positive values through strategic placement of the origin point near Bordeaux, France, outside Swiss territory.
