## Discussion

If you create the map item using the [`forCurrentLocation()`](/documentation/MapKit/MKMapItem/forCurrentLocation()) method, the value of this property is `nil` and the [`isCurrentLocation`](/documentation/MapKit/MKMapItem/isCurrentLocation) property is <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Swift/true>.
