# initWithCoordinate:

Initializes a new location anchor with the given coordinates.

## Declaration

```occ
- (instancetype) initWithCoordinate:(CLLocationCoordinate2D) coordinate;
```

## Parameters

- `coordinate`: Lattitude and longitude of the anchor’s geographic location.

## Discussion

Discussion Because this initializer does not take an altitude argument, ARKit sets the anchor’s altitude to ground level.
