Linear referencing

Linear referencing is like following a line. Imagine you are traveling in a car and going on a road trip. Your path is like a line, and linear referencing is like using that line to remember where you have been and where you are going. You can use linear referencing to keep track of your journey and figure out where you are and where you need to be. You can think of it like a GPS, but instead of a map, you just have one line that marks the path you have taken.
