The "new" keyword creates an object, so this one creates a new "MapLocation". But the "OnMap" method is defined as taking a Pont object as an argument. So passing it the newly-created MapLocation option was done to demonstrate that a MapLocation is also a Point.

This line and several others shown in the video were for demonstration only and will not be part of the final program.

It creates an object.
