"The terms location and place in geography are used to identify a point or an area on the Earth's surface or elsewhere. The term location generally implies a higher degree of certainty than place, which often indicates an entity with an ambiguous boundary, relying more on human/ social attributes of place identity and sense of place than on geometry.
Types of location/ place.
(1) A relative location is described as a displacement from another site...
(2) A locality is likely to have a well-defined name but a boundary which is less well defined and which varies by context." [Location (geography). Wikipedia]

"A road map or route map is a map that primarily displays roads and transport links rather than natural geographical information. It is a type of navigational map that commonly includes political boundaries and labels, making it also a type of political map. In addition to roads and boundaries, road maps often include points of interest, such as prominent businesses or buildings, tourism sites, parks and recreational facilities, hotels and restaurants, as well as airports and train stations. A road map may also document non-automotive transit routes, although often these are found only on transit maps." [Road map. Wikipedia]
