Location is a specific position in physical space, e.g. a point on the surface of the Earth described using latitude and longitude coordinates. This tag should NOT be used for questions related to the position of a virtual element e.g. position of a pixel on a bitmap or position of a layout element on UI (use [position] tag in that cases).
The term location is used to identify a point or an area in physical space, such as on the Earths surface or within a room.
A relative location is a description of position relative to another known site — for example, "2 miles north of London".
An absolute location is designated using a specific pairing of latitude and longitude in a Cartesian coordinate grid — for example, a Spherical coordinate system or an ellipsoid-based system such as the World Geodetic System—or similar methods.
The term location generally implies a relatively high degree of certainty of position.
