You haven't hgiven us any information that would help us diagnose the
problem. All we can say from this is that you are passing the correct
variable to mapInput().

But what does mapUInput() do? Show us that code too.

And what does mapLocation do with the return value from mapInput()?
We need to see that code too.

That probably makes sense to you but makes no sense to us.
How can it "work" if you remove the variable that you
are saying doesn't work?

Maybe you need to explain what you are trying to achieve?
