# MKPlacemark

A user-friendly description of a location on the map.

## Declaration

```swift
class MKPlacemark
```

## Overview

Overview Placemark data includes information like the country or region, state, city, and street address associated with the specified coordinate. A placemark is a concrete annotation object and conforms to the MKAnnotation protocol. Because it’s an annotation, you can add a placemark directly to the map view’s list of annotations.
