# Latitude/longitude targeting

> Target Bright Data Residential proxy requests to a precise geographic area by setting latitude (-90 to 90), longitude (-180 to 180) and a km radius.

The Residential network Latitude/longitude targeting lets you optimize your performance and data quality by defining a precise geographic area for your requests.

## How to Use latitude/longitude Targeting:

1. Enter the **latitude and longitude coordinates** of your desired location. These coordinates serve as the focal point for your targeting request.
   * Latitude (float): -90 to 90
   * Longitude (float): -180 to 180
2. Define the **distance** in km (integer > 0) of the radius around your specified coordinates within which you want to target your request. Requests are directed exclusively to peers within this geographical area.

Here’s an example: 

* * Latitude -55.45
    * Longitude 37.51
    * Distance 10 (km)

```sh Shell theme={null}
curl "https://brdtest.com/myip.json" --proxy brd.superproxy.io:44445 --proxy-user brd-customer-<customer_id>-zone-<zone_name>-geo_dim-55.45_37.51_10:<zone_password>
