+The two most common choices for specifying the location of an
+observation are the 
+<a href="../../location/threed_sphere/location_mod.html">threed_sphere</a>
+and the
+<a href="../../location/oned/location_mod.html">oned</a>
+locations.  For observations of a real-world system, the 3D Sphere
+is generally the best choice.  For low-order, 1D models, the oned
+locations are the most commonly used.  The observation locations
+need to match the type of locations used in the model.
