You can set the geographical location when publishing the ad by choosing the country, then the city, then the region.

You can determine your exact location through the “Address” field, and all you have to do is write a street name, or any symbol of the area near you, for example, but not exclusively: the name of a car agency, a commercial mall, etc., and you will notice the location appearing on the map.
