# centerCoordinate

The map coordinate at the center of the map view.

```
var centerCoordinate: CLLocationCoordinate2D { get set }
```

## Discussion

This point represents the coordinate on which the framework centers the map. When the camera pitch is `0`, this property also corresponds to the geographic position of the camera. Changing the pitch to a nonzero value moves the camera, but doesn’t affect this property.
