Geo-spatial data are information which can be pinpointed to spatially explicit locations on Earth. Most of the data you sample in ecology are of geo-spatial nature, regardless of whether you recorded the spatial coordinates during data collection or not. A geo-spatial data element consists in principle out of two parts: (1) spatial coordinates in a defined coordinate system, such as latitude and longitude and (2) one or more values such as a label, a physical measurement or a species observation associated with this location.
