Location

(Some words used in this web page are in the Hawaiian langauge)

 This theme asks the question "Where are we?" Location can be both absolute and relative. The absolute location involves either the global location (latitude and longitude on Earth), or the local location ( the street address). The relative location usually involves landmarks of some kind that help pinpoint where you are in relation to that landmark. Click on the links in the navigational bar below to find out more about absolute and relative location.
