Source Maps: Reuse Locations

Save time by managing locations in one central source map and reusing them across all your other maps. Changes in the source are updated automatically everywhere.

Step 1. Configure source maps

  1. In Studio, go to Team and select your team.
  2. In the Source maps field, select the map that should act as your database. You can select multiple.

Step 2. Add places

  1. Open the map where you want to add places from the source map.
  2. In the sidebar under Data sources, select the source map to show its locations.
  3. Click a pin (or route) and choose the category mode:
    • Use category from this map: the place is added to a category on your map.
    • Category and tags from source: keeps source category and tags and stays synced automatically.
  4. Click Add to map to confirm.

Step 3. Adjust synchronization

By default, every field is linked to the source. Want to fill in something different for this specific map?

  • Click the link icon on a field (for example title) to break the link and enter your own text.
  • Use Restore link to switch back to the source map value.
  • For a full copy without any link, choose Unlink at the top.
