# Map Zoom and Position Settings

By default, the MetaLocator automatically positions and zooms the map in order to fit the results. This dynamic positioning ensures that the results are always visible on the map.

To edit Map Settings click Interfaces on the main navigation, open the desired interface and click the **Map Settings** on the left hand navigation. The map location settings are located under the **23 More Map Features** button as shown below:

**Initial Map Zoom**, **Initial Map Center Latitude** and **Initial Map Canter Longitude** can be adjusted to control the map center and zoom level before a search is performed.

**Empty Map Zoom**, **Empty Map Center Latitude** and **Empty Map Canter Longitude** can be adjusted to control the map center and zoom level when an empty map is displayed, as when "No Results" are displayed, or if the initial presentation is set to show no results.

**Zoom Level on Single Result** controls the map zoom when displaying a single result.

Zoom Levels with higher numbers result in closer zooms (higher zoom values) and lower numbers resulting further away zooms (lower zoom values). Valid values range from 1 to 20.
