# init(coordinate:altitude:horizontalAccuracy:verticalAccuracy:course:courseAccuracy:speed:speedAccuracy:timestamp:)

Creates a location object with the specified coordinate, altitude, course, and accuracy information.

## Declaration

```swift
init(coordinate: CLLocationCoordinate2D, altitude: CLLocationDistance, horizontalAccuracy hAccuracy: CLLocationAccuracy, verticalAccuracy vAccuracy: CLLocationAccuracy, course: CLLocationDirection, courseAccuracy: CLLocationDirectionAccuracy, speed: CLLocationSpeed, speedAccuracy: CLLocationSpeedAccuracy, timestamp: Date)
```

## Parameters

- `coordinate`: A coordinate structure containing the latitude and longitude values.
- `altitude`: The altitude value for the location.
- `hAccuracy`: The radius of uncertainty for the geographical coordinate, measured in meters. Specify a negative number to indicate that the geographical coordinate is invalid.
- `vAccuracy`: The accuracy of the altitude value, measured in meters. Specify a negative number to indicate that the altitude is invalid.
- `course`: The direction of travel for the location, measured in degrees relative to due north and continuing clockwise around the compass.
- `courseAccuracy`: The accuracy of the course value, measured in degrees. Specify a negative number to indicate that the course is invalid.
- `speed`: The current speed associated with this location, measured in meters per second.
- `speedAccuracy`: The accuracy of the speed value, measured in meters per second. Specify a negative number to indicate that the speed is invalid.
- `timestamp`: The time to associate with the location object. Typically, you specify the current time.
