# View your people on a map

## Get started

With Broadstripes' **Maps** feature, you can easily view any list of people on an interactive map.

1. Start by clicking the **Maps** link on the navigation panel.

2. Clicking this link takes you to Broadstripes' **Maps** page. You'll see the location of every person in your project (who has a good address) pinpointed on the map that appears.
3. For a better look, you can zoom in or out using the **zoom controls** on the left-hand side of the map, or with the **plus** and **minus keys** on your keyboard.<img src="https://mintcdn.com/broadstripes/j5swCIBkxE0SPEuR/images/getting-started/2b7dbc0-MapsViewZoom.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=j5swCIBkxE0SPEuR&q=85&s=134dadb4e256fc03189e5d1a74473e4c" alt="" width="201" height="157" data-path="images/getting-started/2b7dbc0-MapsViewZoom.png" />
4. The **Maps** page also allows you to work with geographic shapes, whether pre-loaded political districts or hand-cut turf. These shapes can be used for political outreach, planning house visits, and other geographically informed analysis of your people.
