   I would think that they would use the Enterprise (actually some point in
the transparter chamber) as the point (0,0,0).  If you go by the asumption
that all of space is mapped, that would mean that they couldn't use the 
transporter in regions of space that have never been charted before.
Anyone agree/disagree?
