Map Extent: Setting Map Boundaries

Once you have created your Map you will want to set its extent. Creating an extent sets the general location of your property for quick navigation via the Center button at the top of the map menu. It does not need to be precise and may take a couple attempts before getting it right based on the shape and size of your property.

Open Extent from the main menu to start editing. Drag the rectangle so it covers your property, then click Apply to save it — or Cancel to discard your changes. You can adjust the extent again at any time.

The map in extent-editing mode: a dashed 'Map Extent' rectangle over the property with Apply and Cancel buttons above it, and a dark privacy mask covering everything beyond a buffer zone around the extent. — Maps - Set Extent

Important

As you edit, a preview shows how your Map will look to others: a buffer is kept around your extent, and everything beyond it is blacked out on the public version of your Map. This means sharing a Map never reveals the wider surroundings or the property's exact location. Public Maps include further privacy protections as well, such as a limited zoom level and disabled coordinates.

Once your extent is set, clicking the Center button at the top of the map menu will automatically move the map back to your property, making it easy to re-orient yourself at any time.
