+## Get the gesture position
+
+The position at which a drag or drop gesture occurred can be obtained by calling the `GetPosition` method on a <xref:Microsoft.Maui.Controls.DragEventArgs>, <xref:Microsoft.Maui.Controls.DragStartingEventArgs>, or <xref:Microsoft.Maui.Controls.DropEventArgs> object. The `GetPosition` method accepts an `Element?` argument, and returns a position as a `Point?` object:
+
+```csharp
+void OnDragStarting(object sender, DragStartingEventArgs e)
+{
+    // Position relative to screen
+    Point? screenPosition = e.GetPosition(null);
+
+    // Position relative to specified element
+    Point? relativeToImagePosition = e.GetPosition(image);
+}
+```
+
+The `Element?` argument defines the element the position should be obtained relative to. Supplying a `null` value as this argument means that the `GetPosition` method returns a `Point?` object that defines the position of the drag or drop gesture relative to the screen.
