Display files in a [[Introduction to Bases|Base]] as an interactive map with markers for each file, and a preview that displays properties of that file. ![[bases-map-places.png#interface]] > [!info] Requires Obsidian 1.10 and the Maps plugin > Map views require Obsidian 1.10 which is currently in [[Early access versions|early access]]. The [Maps plugin](https://github.com/obsidianmd/obsidian-maps) is an official [[Community plugins|community plugin]] that you can download separately. ## Example uses Open the [example files](https://github.com/obsidianmd/obsidian-maps/tree/master/examples) in Obsidian to see working map views with markers, icons, and colors already configured. ## Settings Map view settings can be configured in [[Views#View settings|View settings]]. - Embedded height - Center coordinates - Zoom constraints - Marker coordinates, color, and icon - Background ### Markers To display markers on the map go to the [[Views#View settings|view settings]] and select a marker property. The property must contain latitude and longitude coordinates. The following formats are accepted: ```yaml # Text property coordinates: "lat, lng" # List property coordinates: - "lat" - "lng" ``` If you store coordinates as separate `latitude` and `longitude` properties you can combine them with a [[Bases syntax#Formulas|formula]] property by defining it as an array of coordinates: `[latitude, longitude]`. #### Icons You can add icons from Obsidian's built-in [Lucide library](https://lucide.dev/icons/) to markers. #### Colors You can define colors. Accepts values as RGB `rgb(0,0,0)`, HEX `#000`, or CSS variables like `var(--color-blue)`.
