## Description       &#x20;

**What it does** This component allows you to obtain location information using different methods. You can either automatically detect the location or manually enter an address. The result can be provided in two ways:

* By the name of the city
* By the latitude and longitude coordinates

The Get GEO Location component has the identifier of geo-**X**, where **X** represents the instance number of the Get GEO Location component.

**When to use it?**  If your automation needs to know the user’s location, this node can help fetch geographical coordinates. It’s great for location-based services, such as recommending nearby restaurants.
