# region

A map region that provides a hint as to where to search.

```
var region: MKCoordinateRegion { get set }
```

## Discussion

You can use this parameter to narrow the list of search results to those inside or close to the specified region. Specifying a region doesn’t ensure that the results are all inside the region. It’s merely a hint to the search engine.
