To explain, lets say that I know that a friends house is near the school I can just put the name of the school in the GPS and go to the friends house. however, if I'm going to a relative's house that lives out in the country I would use absolute location by putting their address into the GPS.

We use absolute location in our everyday lives because if you need to tell your friend where you live, you would give him your exact address. Or if you want to go on a vacation to a place in Florida, you might use relative location because it would get you to Florida and then you could pick where in Florida you might want to go such as the beach or Disney World.

This can help me in the real world in several ways one example is if I am planning a family vacation I will know how many miles it is from one place to another. Another example is if I was going to my friends house I could see how far it is from my house to theirs. The second thing I learned from chapter 1 was the difference between absolute and relative location. This can help me in several ways. For example if someone asks me for the absolute location of my house I would tell them the address of my house. If someone asked me for the relative location of my house I would say across the street from the school. These are two things I learned in chapter 1.

I could use cardinal directions to know where I'm going, for example if my map said I needed to go east the I would turn to my right (from the point of view from where I'm sitting when I wrote this).And I would use relative location to tell someone where I am. For example, since I am a kid I don't know the names of every street. So if I was at the football field I would tell someone I am near subway,across from the park and about 2 minutes from the school.
