# Use location in message templates

Location headers appear as generic maps at the top of the template and are useful for order tracking, delivery updates, ride-hailing pickup/dropoff, locating physical stores, etc. 

The template will reflect a static location defined by the business for a particular use case, for example, a pickup spot for a particular order with a particular user. When tapped, the user's default map app will open and load the specified location. 

{% hint style="info" %}
Location headers can only be used:

* In **Utility** and **Marketing** templates (see [template categories](/whatsapp-channel/channel-capabilities/whatsapp-message-templates.md#template-categories))
* In the **Cloud** environment

Real-time (live) locations are **not** supported.
{% endhint %}

## Add location to template header

1. When [creating your message template](/whatsapp-channel/channel-capabilities/whatsapp-message-templates/add-message-templates.md) in WhatsApp Business Manager, add a media header and select *Location*.
2. The location's name and address are specified when you [send](/whatsapp-channel/channel-capabilities/whatsapp-message-templates/send-message-templates.md) the template.
