## Discussion

Discussion For information about Places, see Identifying unique locations with Place IDs. Pass an AbortSignal from an AbortController to the signal option to allow the controller to cancel a pending request. When the controller aborts, the promise it returns rejects with a DOMException whose name is "AbortError".
