## Topics

### Creating a location coordinate

[`init()`](/documentation/CoreLocation/CLLocationCoordinate2D/init())

Creates a location coordinate object.

[`init(latitude:longitude:)`](/documentation/CoreLocation/CLLocationCoordinate2D/init(latitude:longitude:))

Creates a location coordination object with the specified latitude and longitude values.

[`CLLocationCoordinate2DMake(_:_:)`](/documentation/CoreLocation/CLLocationCoordinate2DMake(_:_:))

Formats a latitude and longitude value into a coordinate data structure format.

### Getting the geographic coordinates

[`latitude`](/documentation/CoreLocation/CLLocationCoordinate2D/latitude)

The latitude in degrees.

[`longitude`](/documentation/CoreLocation/CLLocationCoordinate2D/longitude)

The longitude in degrees.

### Validating a coordinate

[`CLLocationCoordinate2DIsValid(_:)`](/documentation/CoreLocation/CLLocationCoordinate2DIsValid(_:))

Returns a Boolean value indicating whether the specified coordinate is valid.

[`kCLLocationCoordinate2DInvalid`](/documentation/CoreLocation/kCLLocationCoordinate2DInvalid)

An invalid coordinate value.
