# ARGeoTrackingStatus

The state, accuracy, and reason that are possible for geo-tracking’s current condition.

```
class ARGeoTrackingStatus
```

## Overview

Geo tracking requires coordination with the user at various phases of the geo-tracking lifecycle. To elicit the right user actions, an app needs to provide clear instructions to the user based on the current frame’s [`geoTrackingStatus`](/documentation/ARKit/ARFrame/geoTrackingStatus):

- Geo-tracking [`state`](/documentation/ARKit/ARGeoTrackingStatus/state-swift.property) most notably regards the important process in which ARKit acquires a better understanding of the user’s geographic location and orientation than is possible with GPS and the compass heading alone. See [`ARGeoTrackingStatus.State.localizing`](/documentation/ARKit/ARGeoTrackingStatus/State-swift.enum/localizing) for more information.
- Given a particular [`state`](/documentation/ARKit/ARGeoTrackingStatus/state-swift.property), the app needs to tailor its user messaging according to the [`stateReason`](/documentation/ARKit/ARGeoTrackingStatus/stateReason-swift.property).
- An app may need to monitor [`accuracy`](/documentation/ARKit/ARGeoTrackingStatus/accuracy-swift.property) closely if it requires high-precision localization.

## Topics

### Checking State

[`state`](/documentation/ARKit/ARGeoTrackingStatus/state-swift.property)

A value that describes the session’s current geo-tracking state.

[`State`](/documentation/ARKit/ARGeoTrackingStatus/State-swift.enum)

Values that are possible for the current state of geo-tracking.

### Determining the Reason

[`stateReason`](/documentation/ARKit/ARGeoTrackingStatus/stateReason-swift.property)

The reasons for the app’s geotracking status.

[`StateReason`](/documentation/ARKit/ARGeoTrackingStatus/StateReason-swift.enum)

The reasons for the app’s geotracking status.

### Judging Accuracy

[`accuracy`](/documentation/ARKit/ARGeoTrackingStatus/accuracy-swift.property)

The accuracy of geo tracking at the time the session captured the frame.

[`Accuracy`](/documentation/ARKit/ARGeoTrackingStatus/Accuracy-swift.enum)

Values that are possible for the current accuracy of geo tracking.
