For example it is not obvious which coordinate component aligns to which axis in a skewed coordinate system with a 45 degrees angle against the north direction. Similarly, a geocentric -cartesain coordinate system usually has the z-component aligned with the rotational +cartesian coordinate system usually has the z-component aligned with the rotational axis of the earth and hence the axis points towards north. Both cases are incompatible with the convention of always having the x-component be the east/west axis, the y-component the north/south axis and the z-component the up/down axis. |
