# Sync Multiple Map Views

> Synchronize view states across all opened maps for coordinated navigation

Synchronize the center and zoom level across all opened maps with a simple button click. When enabled, panning and zooming on any map will move all other maps to the same view state.

## How to Sync Maps

### Enable Synchronization

1. **Open multiple maps** in separate panels
2. **Click the sync button** in the top toolbar of any map panel
3. **All maps are now synchronized** - panning or zooming on one map moves all others

### What Gets Synced

* **Center position** - all maps show the same geographic center
* **Zoom level** - all maps maintain the same zoom level
* **Real-time updates** - changes happen instantly across all maps

### Disable Synchronization

* **Click the sync button again** to turn off synchronization
* **Maps return to independent navigation** - each map can be moved separately

## Use Cases

* **Compare different datasets** on the same area
* **View different base maps** at the same location
* **Analyze multiple time periods** side by side
* **Coordinate team analysis** with consistent views

## Next Steps

* **Set Initial View**: Optimize your synchronized map display
* **Publish Your Maps**: Share synchronized views with others
