code challenge: landmark function

The code challenger won´t accept this answer. Can I get the same result in an easier way, or am I in general way off on this challenge. Cause I do get the right output in playground.

functions.swift 
// Enter your code below
func getTowerCoordinates(location: String) -> (lat: Double, lon: Double) {

    var lat = 0.0
    var lon = 0.0

    switch location {
    case "Eiffel Tower": lat = 48.8582; lon = 2.2945
    case "Great Pyramid":  lat = 29.9792; lon = 31.1344
    case "Sydney Opera House": lat = 33.8587; lon = 151.2140
    default: 0.0;0.0
    }
    return(lat,lon)
}

Hey Jonas,

Read your task carefully ;) you need to return (Double, Double) not (lat: Double, lon: Double). With best wishes, Andrey
