Questions tagged [location]
Location is a specific position in physical space, e.g. a point on the surface of the Earth described using latitude and longitude coordinates. This tag should NOT be used for questions related to the position of a virtual element e.g. position of a pixel on a bitmap or position of a layout element on UI (use [position] tag in that cases).
