Navigation makes use of coordinates that are natural to the problem at hand: inertial coordinates for inertial navigation, orbital coordinates for GPS navigation, and earth‐fixed coordinates for representing locations on the earth.

    The principal coordinate systems used in navigation, and the transformations between these different coordinate systems, are summarized in this appendix. These are primarily Cartesian (orthogonal) coordinates, and the transformations between them can be represented by orthogonal matrices. However, the coordinate transformations can also be represented by rotation vectors or quaternions, and all representations are used in the derivations and implementation of GPS/INS integration.
