# genericLocation

The generic location representation of a timezone.

static var genericLocation: Date.FormatStyle.Symbol.TimeZone { get }
```

## Discussion

Discussion If the generic location is unavailable, the system provides the value of localizedGMT(_:) with a long width. For example, Los Angeles Time.
