# place

An object that allows a custom annotation to potentially supersede a point of interest at the same map coordinates.

## Declaration

```data
place?: Place | SearchAutocompleteResult;
```

## Discussion

Discussion By using a Place object as an argument to the AnnotationConstructorOptions, you can, depending on the exact coordinates and other rendering computations, supersede an Apple-provided item on the map. This can reduce potential visual clutter of two icons representing the same place on a single map. You can also use a Place as the first argument when creating a Annotation, rather than using a Coordinate to achieve the same effect. MapKit JS also supports this capability for the initializer and constructor options for ImageAnnotation and MarkerAnnotation.
