Answer:

The purpose is to determine absolute location.

Step-by-step explanation:

A geographic coordinate system (GCS) is used to define locations on a model of the surface of the earth. The GCS uses a network of imaginary lines (longitude and latitude) to define locations. This network is called a graticule.

Hope this helps!

All the love, Ya boi Fraser :)
