There are many ways to describe the location of an object.
Giving a Longitude, Latitude, and Altitude will give a good representation of where an object is. You can use GPS or other means to find the location.
The problem is that people don't have any innate ability to interpret coordinates.
So, typically people try to determine a reference object and try to relate the location to that.

When giving directions, one also often uses reference objects. "I forgot the name of the street, but turn at Starbucks. Proceed to the third mailbox on the right, look for a large red house".... etc.
The trick is to find reference objects that are common between the individuals.
Surveying is often done similarly, but they often choose standardized reference objects called "Monuments".
Latitude and longitude are angles used to describe the location of any point on Earth. They are the 'address' of the point.
A concentration point refers to a specific location where flows of traffic, goods, or services converge, leading to higher levels of activity and interaction. It can also be used to describe a focal point for decision-making or attention in various contexts.
A geographic location refers to a specific point or area on the Earth's surface that can be identified by its latitude and longitude coordinates. It is used to describe where something is situated on the planet in relation to other places.
The point on the Earth's surface directly above where an earthquake originates is called the "epicenter." It is the location where the seismic waves first reach the surface, and it is typically used to describe the location of the earthquake in reports and maps. The actual point within the Earth where the earthquake starts is known as the "focus" or "hypocenter."
The proximal aspect refers to a location closer to the center of the body or a point of reference. It is the opposite of distal, which is a location farther away from the center. This terminology is often used in medical and anatomical contexts to describe the relative position of body parts.

You need to agree on a point that everybody knows, and then provide a minimum of three numbers to describe the object's location compared to the known point.

coordinates
To identify and objects location you need three pieces of information. These are a reference point, a distance from the reference point, and a direction from the reference point.
The number are called coordinates.
In mathematics, a vector is a quantity that has both magnitude and direction. When discussing the location of a point in space, a vector can be used to describe the displacement from an origin point to that location. Therefore, the location of a point and its vector are related in terms of specifying both where the point is and in what direction it is positioned from a reference point.

The location of each point on a planar figure can be described with two coordinates.Each point in a solid figure requires threecoordinates to describe it's location.
