Any docs page is available as Markdown by adding `.md` to its URL. URL: https://nocodb.com/docs/product/tables/views/view-types/map Last updated: 2026-10-03 Use the Map view in NocoDB to show records as markers on a map from a GeoData field. 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. Map View Create a map view of this table using [Location] Create a map view of [Stores] that shows only [open] stores Which field in this table can a map view use? ## Map View Actions 1. [Create a New Map View](/docs/product/tables/views/create-view#create-new-view) 2. [Rename an Existing Map View](/docs/product/tables/views/actions-on-view#rename-view) 3. [Duplicate a Map View](/docs/product/tables/views/actions-on-view#duplicate-view) 4. [Remove a Map View](/docs/product/tables/views/actions-on-view#delete-view) 5. [Share a Map View](/docs/product/tables/views/share-view) 6. [Lock Map View for Edits](/docs/product/tables/views#view-permission-types) ## Prerequisites The Map view needs at least one **GeoData** field in your table. If your table does not have a GeoData field, [create one](/docs/product/tables/fields/field-types/custom-types/geodata) 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. Mapped By field Records without valid coordinates in the selected GeoData field will not appear on the map. ## Map View operations 1. [Show or Hide Fields Within the Map](/docs/product/tables/table-operations/field-operations#show--hide-fields) 2. [Apply Filters to Display Specific Records on the Map](/docs/product/tables/table-operations/filter) 3. [Export Data to CSV or Excel Format](/docs/product/tables/table-operations/download#download-data) ### 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 tooltips ### 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. Clustering ### 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 displays up to 1,000 records. If your view contains more records, consider applying filters to narrow down the results. ## 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. Add record ### 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](/docs/product/tables/views/share-view), 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). ## Related * [Grid View](/docs/product/tables/views/view-types/grid) * [Gallery View](/docs/product/tables/views/view-types/gallery) * [Kanban View](/docs/product/tables/views/view-types/kanban) * [Calendar View](/docs/product/tables/views/view-types/calendar) * [GeoData](/docs/product/tables/fields/field-types/custom-types/geodata) --- ## Related pages - [Grid](https://nocodb.com/docs/product/tables/views/view-types/grid.md): Use the Grid view in NocoDB to see and edit records in rows and columns, as in a spreadsheet. - [Gallery](https://nocodb.com/docs/product/tables/views/view-types/gallery.md): Use the Gallery view in NocoDB to show records as cards with image thumbnails. - [Form](https://nocodb.com/docs/product/tables/views/view-types/form.md): Use the Form view in NocoDB to build forms that add records to a table, with validations, conditions and scheduling. - [Kanban](https://nocodb.com/docs/product/tables/views/view-types/kanban.md): Use the Kanban view in NocoDB to show records as cards in stacks and drag them between stacks. - [Calendar](https://nocodb.com/docs/product/tables/views/view-types/calendar.md): Use the Calendar view in NocoDB to show records on a calendar by date and move them between dates. - [List](https://nocodb.com/docs/product/tables/views/view-types/list.md): Use the List view in NocoDB to show records as a multi-level list grouped by linked records, with nested records. - [Timeline](https://nocodb.com/docs/product/tables/views/view-types/timeline.md): Use the Timeline view in NocoDB to show records as bars on a time axis from a start date to an end date. - [Gantt](https://nocodb.com/docs/product/tables/views/view-types/gantt.md): Use the Gantt view in NocoDB to plan records as bars on a timeline with dependencies and milestones.
