geographical location

Spot on Earth

A geographical location is a specific place on Earth, identified by coordinates, boundaries, or relation to other features.

The term emphasizes position in physical space rather than political or cultural identity: The app shows your geographical location on a map.

Often shortened to simply location when context is clear.
