# region

The area the map is displaying.

```
get region(): CoordinateRegion;
set region(region: CoordinateRegionData);
```

## Discussion

This is the area currently displayed by the map, defined with a [`CoordinateRegion`](/documentation/MapKitJS/CoordinateRegion):

```javascript
const center = new mapkit.Coordinate(48.8468, 2.3364),
    span = new mapkit.CoordinateSpan(0.016, 0.016),
    region = new mapkit.CoordinateRegion(center, span);
```
