Hi Mathew, Thanks for confirming. The blue outline that you can see in the AdWords UI when targeting a location is the whole location itself, for example, the whole Birmingham City. When targeting this in the API, there are no geo points for this as you are targeting a specific city. You just need to set the location/geo targeting ID as you can see in this section <https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/guides/location-targeting#geo_target_campaigns_for_a_region>. For example, for Birmingham City, the geo targeting ID is 1006524 as you can see in the geo targets table <https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/appendix/geotargeting>.
