# Map

> See your project on an interactive map - locations, layers, drawing tools and export.

The **Map** plots your project on an interactive map, with a sidebar of layers and
tools down one side. The essentials - the base map and your locations - are on
every plan; the richer mapping tools are **Pro**.

## The base map

Switch the **base map** between street, satellite, hybrid, terrain, light and dark
styles. Standard map **controls** let you zoom, reset the view, reset north and go
fullscreen, with a scale bar for reference.

## The layer panel

The sidebar is a stack of **layers and tools** - locations, overlays, boundaries,
measurements and more. Each is a section you open to work with, and which appear
depends on your plan and role. Your project's **locations** show as markers as soon
as you open the map.

## Map advisors

On Pro, **Map advisors** surfaces [validation](/manage/table-editor/validation)
issues on the map, so you can spot data problems spatially.
