you would probably use spherical coordinates instead of cartesial coordinates.

In spherical coordinates, you map directions based on angles from a reference. you measure an angle in your horizontal plane and then, from that vector, an angle in the vertical plane.

No. East, west. north, and south are relative only to Earth. Space is 3 dimensional and time makes it 4 dimeneional.

Not exactly. In space, there are all of the dimensions we know on earth, but up and down don't apply in space due to a lack of gravity. There is no reference point to tell north, south, east, and west from.

No. We don't know where the center of the universe is. If we did, we might. But then we would make it into a 3D grid.
There is no true north, east, south, and west.

No there is not because there are no north or south poles, therefore you cannot go North, West, East, or South, but left, right, up, and down.

the directions are with respect to another thing. Like on earth it is with respect to continents. In space it can be with respect to a star or a planet or any heavenly body.

there is no direction in space, basically you are going to point a from point b. space is a empty vaccum of nothingness of unimaginable size, so no man has been able to charter it or anything.

no, because nswe is based on a 2 dimentional x,y axis. space is a 3 dimensional x,y,z axis.
