So the "Base" keyword is basically forwarding the parameters from MapLocation to the Point constructor?

Which is why we don't have to set fields and build out the constructor for the MapLocation class?

That's exactly right. :+1:   Using "base()" allows you to pass arguments to parent constructor.

As you noticed, this prevents you from needing to duplicate anything the parent constructor does already.
