# genericLocation

The generic location representation of a timezone.

```
static var genericLocation: Date.FormatStyle.Symbol.TimeZone { get }
```

## Discussion

If the generic location is unavailable, the system provides the value of [`localizedGMT(_:)`](/documentation/Foundation/Date/FormatStyle/Symbol/TimeZone/localizedGMT(_:)) with a `long` width. For example, `Los Angeles Time`.
