Hello.

When you type a /pos command, you get 6 numbers; orientation is not important now, so let's see the other 3:
I know the second is the height from plane (pretty obvius: negative - down from plane; positive - above plane);
My question is: how do I read the other two? Which axis is the first one and what does the positive/nagative prefix mean (which direction on navmap), and same question for the last coordinate.

For the coordinates in format X, Y, Z; and having the navmap flat on the screen:

X-axis is positive to the right (or east), Y-axis is positive out of the screen, Z-axis is positive down (or south).

(Note: Freelancer coordinates do not follow the standard mathematical convention of having the ordinate axis positive "up" the page.)

There was a sig here, once.
