Absolute coordinates are coordinates that reference the position of an object with respect to an origin in a given coordinate system.

[coordinate systems] Coordinates that are referenced to the origin of a given coordinate system.
Entering absolute coordinates at the prompts is easy, until your coordinates get too unwieldy to type, as they will when we start working with real map coordinates.
This pseudorange process results in the absolute coordinates of the user on the earth's surface. Errors in range are directly reflected in resultant coordinate errors.
Correspondingly, the errors of coordinate differences may be significantly smaller than the errors of absolute coordinates.
GPS equipment can be used to provide absolute coordinates of positions using Global Positioning Satellites. Detail of occupation and boundary fencing is recorded to provide evidence upon which boundary locations can be assessed.
