    Robotics: self-navigating, autonomous robots using GPS sensors, [130] which calculate latitude, longitude, time, speed, and heading. Sport: used in football and rugby for the control and analysis of the training load. [131] Surveying: surveyors use absolute locations to make maps and determine property boundaries.

    A geographic coordinate system (GCS) is a spherical or geodetic coordinate system for measuring and communicating positions directly on Earth as latitude and longitude. [1] It is the simplest, oldest and most widely used type of the various spatial reference systems that are in use, and forms the basis for most others.

    Geocoding platforms often do not support such relative locations, but advances are being made in this direction. Absolute input data Absolute input data are the textual descriptions of a location which, alone, can output a spatial representation of that location. This data type outputs an absolute known location independently of other locations.

    The United States National Grid (USNG) is a multi-purpose location system of grid references used in the United States. It provides a nationally consistent "language of location", optimized for local applications, in a compact, user friendly format. It is similar in design to the national grid reference systems used in other countries.
