# Configuring Map and List Settings

Tap the :SettingsIcon: **Settings** icon at the top right of the screen to configure map settings and list settings for list view.

- Select Map Display to configure the map display settings including the tags to show on the map view.
- Select Site List to configure the tags to display when the Site List is in List view.

## Configuring the Site List Display

Select **Site List** on the Settings screen to configure the tags that are visible for each site in List View. Select up to five tags.

## Configuring the Map Display

### Configuring the Map Type

FarmConnect can use maps provided by Google Maps or open-source maps provided by Leaflet.

- Google maps are generally higher quality and provide access to Google map tools.
- Leaflet allows you to download sections of the map (tiles) for use offline.

If you want to save parts of your map area for offline use, choose the Leaflet option and configure the Offline Map Tiles settings.

### Configuring Offline Map Tiles

This option is only available if you are using Leaflet as the map provider. 

To save map tiles for use offline, zoom in to the view that you want to save and click the SAVE TILES button.

> ℹ️ **Note**
> ℹ️ 
> ℹ️ The application stores map tiles at the zoom level you choose when you save the tiles. You must be zoomed in to the same level to view the tiles offline.

To check what tiles you have saved, turn on the **Show cached map tiles** option.

> ℹ️ **Note**
> ℹ️ 
> ℹ️ Map tiles take up a large amount of storage space. You should purge any tiles that you no longer need.

### Configuring the Tag Trend Settings

> ℹ️ **Note**
> ℹ️ 
> ℹ️ Showing tag trends may impact on map performance. If maps are loading slowly try turning this feature off, reduce the amount of data displayed or increase the zoom level at which data is displayed.

The tag trend settings you can configure are the following:

- Use the **Show or Hide Tag History** toggle to enable or disable the tag trend displays.
- Set the **Tag History Duration** to control how many hours of data are shown on the trend graph. You can select between 2 and 48 hours. The default is 2 hours and you may find that setting longer durations affects the performance of the trend display.
- Set the **Minimum web mercator zoom level for tag history** to control at what minimum zoom level the tag displays will appear. You should set this to a level at which you can see area trends but not at such a low level that the map is cluttered with too many tag displays.

> ℹ️ **What is Web Mercator Zoom Level?**
> ℹ️ 
> ℹ️ Web Mercator Zoom Level is a measure of how closely you have zoomed into the map. At a zoom level of zero the whole Earth fits onto the map and at the highest zoom level (typically 20 to 22) you will be zoomed in to show the details of single buildings. See for example [https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-maps/zoom-levels-and-tile-grid?tabs=csharp](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-maps/zoom-levels-and-tile-grid?tabs=csharp) for more information about zoom levels.

# Showing Custom Map Overlays

You can create custom map overlays to display your own data on maps. See [https://rubiconwater.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/NCTS/pages/2515111722](https://rubiconwater.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/NCTS/pages/2515111722) for details.
