In TerraExplorer, a location is defined as a point of interest (X, Y, Height). The camera is given a direction and distance from which this point of interest is viewed. For example, if you chose the White House as your point of interest, you would need to find the x- and y-coordinates of the White House and pass those coordinates to the CreateLocation method.

Parameters
Position
An IPosition66 representing the position of the location on the terrain.
GroupID
The Project Tree group in which the location is created. If it is set to an empty string, the object is created under the root. You can obtain the GroupID by one of the following methods:
· Create the group using IProjectTree66.CreateGroup.
· Find the group, if you know the name, using IProjectTree66.FindItem.
· Traverse the Tree using IProjectTree66 methods such as GetNextItem, until you come to the desired GroupID.
Description
The name of the location as it appears in the Project Tree. If an empty string is passed into this parameter, TerraExplorer assigns it a unique name.
Return Value
pITerrainLocation66
An ITerrainLocation66, representing the newly created location.
