Relative Location

Relative location refers to the position of a place or entity based on its positive with respect to other locations. For example, the location of the US Capitol is located about 38 miles southwest of Baltimore. Relative location can be expressed in terms of distance, travel time, or cost.

Relative location can also be used to provide geographic context. For example, overview or locator maps show the relative location of a place or entity based on a larger geographic view. For example, the inset map below, shows the relative location of the state of Texas within the United States.
