Answer:

Proximity

Step-by-step explanation:

Proximity can be used to provide geographic context and a general overview of any location, as in ¨about 3 miles north of the local fire department¨. This expression shows the location relative to another landmark or point and is approximately the right location.

Absolute location on the other hand would require the exact location using both latitude and longitude. Washington DC, for example, lies at 38.9047°N, 77.0164°W
