Relating to data or information that is associated with a specific geographic location on Earth.

Geospatial data combines location information (coordinates, addresses, postal codes) with attribute data (what is at that location). A dataset of hospital locations with their names and services is geospatial data.

Geospatial data is used in mapping, navigation, spatial analysis, and location-based services. It is stored in formats like GeoJSON, shapefiles, and spatial databases.
