East and west doesn't really work. They're continuous. There is no easternmost point or westernmost point.
South and altitude would be cool though
East and west work fine if you use either the international date line or 180 degrees as the "edge." Tbh tho, east probs wouldn't be too interesting, it would just be Tokyo, maybe another coastal asian city, and some islands
You could use 0 and 180 degrees longitude
You could measure relative to the prime or ante meridian.
