init(location: CLLocation, address: MKAddress?)
```

`location`

A <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/CoreLocation/CLLocation>.

`address`

An [`MKAddress`](/documentation/MapKit/MKAddress).

## Return Value

## Discussion

Use this method to create a map item for a specific location. Don’t use it to create a map item representing the current location of someone’s device, instead use the ```MKMapItem/forCurrentLocation()`` method.
