The absolute location.
There was never much need to find a name for such a place, since every parallel of latitude
crosses every meridian of longitude, and every meridian crosses every parallel.

∙ 11y agoThere is no particular term for such a point. The reason may be the fact that there
are potentially an infinite number of lines of latitude, and every one of them crosses
a potentially infinite number of lines of longitude. So memorizing all of those names
would be one heck of a job.
