Hi Brittina, could you please specify the exact error you are getting? It looks as if though it is a problem with the type of property. You may want to treat latitude and longitude as strings by putting them in quotes. If they are meant to be numbers, then you probably should not have N along with it. Please state the exact error if this does not help.

Hi Britta,

Kofi is correct here. The challenge instructions show single quotes around the latitude and longitude values indicating that they need to be stored as strings.
