The linker takes all your objects and libraries, and produces a relocatable program which can be executed by the OS program loader.
The locator goes one step further and fixes the image at a specific address in memory. You would use a locator if you were say producing bootstrap code to be flashed into eprom, or producing code for an embedded system with a simple (or no) operating system.
