    Yes there is.
    One is an area surrounding.
    The other is the actual co-ordinate.

    Is the location in this vicinity?


    vi·cin·i·ty/vəˈsinətē/
    Noun: The area near or surrounding a particular place.


    Lo·ca·tion (l-kshn)
    n.
    1. The act or process of locating.
    2. A place where something is or could be located; a site.
    3. A site away from a studio at which part or all of a movie is shot: filming a Western on location in the Mexican desert.
    4. A tract of land that has been surveyed and marked off.


    A vicinity map would show a larger area than a location map.
