# Coordinate

An object representing the latitude and longitude for a point on the Earth’s surface.

## Declaration

```data
class Coordinate implements CoordinateData
```

## Overview

Overview A Coordinate is a point on a spherical representation of the Earth at a specific degree of latitude (90 and -90) and longitude (180 to -180) that you use to search for locations, place annotations, and other objects on the map.
