# initWithName:coordinate:

Initializes a named location anchor with the given coordinates.

## Declaration

```occ
- (instancetype) initWithName:(NSString *) name coordinate:(CLLocationCoordinate2D) coordinate;
```

## Parameters

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

## Discussion

Discussion Because this initializer does not take an altitude argument, ARKit will determine (and set) the anchor’s altitude at runtime.
