Hello everyone!

Have you ever opened a map only to find it auto-zoomed in or out in a way that doesn’t reflect the view you intended to show? We’ve just shipped an update to help with that.

### 🌟 What’s new

You can now **set a custom default view for map visualizations**. This allows a map to open in a specific zoom level and center point, instead of always auto-zooming to fit the data.

### ⚙ How it works

To save a default view:

- Go to edit mode, then pan and zoom to the view you want everyone to see first
- Click on the **Pin** button on the map to save that view

After exploring the map, viewers can quickly return to the saved default view by clicking the **Reset** button.

### 📃 Documentation

For more details, check out our documentation: [Set a Default Map View | Holistics Docs (4.0)](https://docs.holistics.io/docs/charts/map/set-default-map-view)

Give it a try and let us know what you think! We’d love to hear how this improves your mapping experience. 💬
