Map

The Map view shows your records as markers on an interactive map. The coordinates in a GeoData field set the position of each marker. Click a marker to see or edit the record details. Right-click the map to create a new record at that location. This section gives all the operations for the Map view.

Prerequisites

The Map view needs at least one GeoData field in your table. If your table does not have a GeoData field, create one before you set up a Map view. The GeoData field keeps the latitude and longitude coordinates that set the marker positions on the map.

Mapped By field

The Mapped By field sets the GeoData field that places the markers on the map. You can select only fields of type GeoData.

Change the Mapped By field

1. In the toolbar, click the Mapped By menu.
2. In the dropdown, select a different GeoData field.

Map View operations

1. Show or Hide Fields Within the Map
2. Apply Filters to Display Specific Records on the Map
3. Export Data to CSV or Excel Format

Marker tooltips

When you hover over a marker, a tooltip shows a summary of the record. The tooltip shows up to four visible fields and the coordinates.

Marker clustering

When records are close together, the map groups their markers into clusters. Each cluster shows the number of records in it. Zoom in on a cluster to see the individual markers.

Map navigation

To pan the map, drag it. To zoom, scroll. The map keeps your zoom level and position for each view. Your viewport stays the same across sessions.

Map View record operations

Add a new record

There are two ways to add a new record to the map:

• Click the + Add Row button. The expanded record form opens. Enter the data manually.
• Right-click a location on the map. NocoDB creates a new record and fills the GeoData field with the coordinates of that location.

Edit an existing record

Click a marker on the map. The record opens in the expanded record view. Edit the record details and save the changes.

Delete a record

Click a marker. The record opens in the expanded record view. To delete the record, use the expanded record context menu.

Shared Map View

When you share a Map view publicly, external users can see the map and use the markers in read-only mode. In a shared view, a click on a marker opens a popup card. The card shows the visible fields of the record.

Availability

• Map View is available on all NocoDB Cloud plans and all self-hosted deployments (including Community Edition).
