# getPlace(annotation, options)

Obtains the place associated with a map feature annotation.

```
getPlace(
    annotation: MapFeatureAnnotation,
    options?: PlaceLookupOptions,
): Promise<Place>;
```

## Parameters

`annotation`

The [`MapFeatureAnnotation`](/documentation/MapKitJS/MapFeatureAnnotation) to look up.

`options`

Options that can overwrite the same options set on the property or that you supplied to the [`PlaceLookup`](/documentation/MapKitJS/PlaceLookup) constructor. See [`PlaceLookupOptions`](/documentation/MapKitJS/PlaceLookupOptions).

## Return Value

A promise that resolves with a [`Place`](/documentation/MapKitJS/Place) on success, or rejects with an `Error` on failure.

## Discussion

Use this method to retrieve the full [`Place`](/documentation/MapKitJS/Place) information for a [`MapFeatureAnnotation`](/documentation/MapKitJS/MapFeatureAnnotation) that a person selects on the map.

Pass an `AbortSignal` from an `AbortController` to the [`signal`](/documentation/MapKitJS/PlaceLookupOptions/signal) option to allow the controller to cancel a pending request. When the controller aborts, the returned promise rejects with a `DOMException` whose `name` is `"AbortError"`.
