New coordinate references

The National Geodetic Survey has identified that NAV83 and NAV88 are a bit off, so as of January 1, 2027, the coordinates will be updated to better reflect the actual center of the Earth and to correct the vertical bias and tilt.

In the future, the reference points used won't be subject to movement by plate tectonics and earthquakes.

Cue the memes about “there” but being “there” anymore.
