# Map View

# Map Tools

The map screen uses Google Maps by default and you can use any of the standard Google Maps tools to manipulate the map.

> ℹ️ **Note**
> ℹ️ 
> ℹ️ If Google Maps is unavailable then Leaflet maps will be used by default. You can also choose to use Leaflet as your default map provider if you need offline map access. See [Configuring the Map Type](https://rubiconwater.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/NC/pages/2196340737/2024.1.1+Working+with+the+Site+Map#Configuring-the-Map-Type) for details.

You can also use the following custom tools:

> ℹ️ **Note**
> ℹ️ 
> ℹ️ - The set of tools available can depend on the zoom level of the map and the availability of options.  If a tool is missing, try zooming in further.
> ℹ️ - Tools that are enabled are coloured blue. Tools that are disabled are coloured black.

| **Tool** | **Description** |
| --- | --- |
| :mapResetBounds:   Reset bounds | Reset the map centre and zoom settings to the default. |
| :mapWatchLocn:  Watch location | Follow your location on the map. When you tap this icon the map will display your current location and track your location as you move (however, if you have turned on the **Stop bounds changes** feature the map will not move as your location changes). |
| :mapBounds:   Allow/Stop bounds changes | Controls whether the map view changes when you apply filters to the site list or when your location changes.<br>By default, if you filter the site list the map bounds will change to include all the sites that match the filter. This can mean that the view jumps away from your current settings. If you want to retain your current view settings, use this tool to disable map location changes when filters are applied. |
| :irrUnitMap: Show/Hide irrigation units | Show or hide the outline of irrigation units on the map. |
| :mapDeclutter:  Declutter | Reorganise overlapping site icons to show the site location more clearly. |

# Expanding the Site Map

In a desktop or tablet view you can use the Expand control at the top right of the screen to expand the site map and hide the site list. 

# Decluttering the Map

When sites are located close together on the map they may overlap and be difficult to see. Tap the **Declutter** tool to redistribute the sites on the map. If any site icons are no longer at their geographical locations, a line is displayed pointing to the location of the site.

> ℹ️ **Note**
> ℹ️ 
> ℹ️ If you enable decluttering it will stay on until it is turned off.
