# GeoProximityLocation
<a name="API_GeoProximityLocation"></a>

 (Resource record sets only): A complex type that lets you specify where your resources are located. Only one of `LocalZoneGroup`, `Coordinates`, or ` AWSRegion` is allowed per request at a time.

For more information about geoproximity routing, see [Geoproximity routing](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/Route53/latest/DeveloperGuide/routing-policy-geoproximity.html) in the *Amazon Route 53 Developer Guide*.

 ** AWSRegion **   <a name="Route53-Type-GeoProximityLocation-AWSRegion"></a>
 The AWS Region the resource you are directing DNS traffic to, is in.   
Type: String  
Length Constraints: Minimum length of 1. Maximum length of 64.  
Required: No

 ** Bias **   <a name="Route53-Type-GeoProximityLocation-Bias"></a>
 The bias increases or decreases the size of the geographic region from which Route 53 routes traffic to a resource.   
To use `Bias` to change the size of the geographic region, specify the applicable value for the bias:  
+ To expand the size of the geographic region from which Route 53 routes traffic to a resource, specify a positive integer from 1 to 99 for the bias. Route 53 shrinks the size of adjacent regions. 
+ To shrink the size of the geographic region from which Route 53 routes traffic to a resource, specify a negative bias of -1 to -99. Route 53 expands the size of adjacent regions. 
Type: Integer  
Valid Range: Minimum value of -99. Maximum value of 99.  
Required: No

 ** Coordinates **   <a name="Route53-Type-GeoProximityLocation-Coordinates"></a>
 Contains the longitude and latitude for a geographic region.   
Type: [Coordinates](API_Coordinates.md) object  
Required: No

 ** LocalZoneGroup **   <a name="Route53-Type-GeoProximityLocation-LocalZoneGroup"></a>
 Specifies an AWS Local Zone Group.   
A local Zone Group is usually the Local Zone code without the ending character. For example, if the Local Zone is `us-east-1-bue-1a` the Local Zone Group is `us-east-1-bue-1`.  
You can identify the Local Zones Group for a specific Local Zone by using the [describe-availability-zones](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/reference/ec2/describe-availability-zones.html) CLI command:  
This command returns: `"GroupName": "us-west-2-den-1"`, specifying that the Local Zone `us-west-2-den-1a` belongs to the Local Zone Group `us-west-2-den-1`.  
Type: String  
Length Constraints: Minimum length of 1. Maximum length of 64.  
Required: No
