geographic location

Spot on Earth

A geographic location is a specific place or position on Earth, identified by coordinates, boundaries, or relationship to other landmarks.

The term emphasizes physical placement rather than political or cultural identity: The app tracks your geographic location.

In data contexts, geographic location often refers to coordinates captured by GPS or IP address.
