# General Settings
In the **General Settings** section, you can control the visibility and behavior of the map on your store's locator page. This section allows you to fine-tune how the map interacts with users and how store information is displayed. Here's a detailed breakdown of the settings:
***
### **1. Locator Page Configuration**
* Click **Activate/Deactivate** the Store Locator Page to adjust the visibility of the store locator page on your site.
* **Map zoom level**: Control the default zoom level of the map when the page is loaded. You can choose between 4 views:
**World map view**: Shows the map zoomed out to the whole world.
**Country view**: Shows a broad map, ideal for stores in multiple regions.
**City view**: Focuses on a particular city.
**Street view**: Provides a close-up view of the street level.
* **Zoom on location click**: Choose how close the map moves in when a customer clicks a location in the list or a pin on the map. Drag the slider anywhere between **1** and **21** — the app labels the range **World**, **Landmass**, **City**, **Streets** and **Buildings** — and the **Zoom preview** underneath shows what the customer will see. The default is **15**.
* **Distance Units**: Choose the unit for measuring distance on the map. It applies to the distance between the pin location to stores, and the radius search options.
***
### **2. Filtering and Search**
Customize how users can filter and search for stores.
* **Filters**: Pick the filters shoppers get above the store list — **Country**, **State/Province**, **City** and **Schedule**. Tick a filter to turn it on, then choose to show it as **Checkboxes** or **Dropdowns**.
* Country, State/Province and City offer the values your own locations use, and they narrow each other: choose a country and only its states are listed, choose a state and only its cities.
* Schedule lists the days of the week your locations are open, so a shopper can find a store open on the day they need.
* Each filter has its own title on the storefront, which you can reword in **Settings → AI Translations**.
* **Allow Customers to Search By**: Enable search options by **Location**, **Phone Number**, **Store Name or ZIP code**.\

* **Search Results**: Set the maximum number of results displayed for each search. Choose between **5**, **10**, **25, 50, 100, 250, 500, 1000** results or **All**.\

* **Detect Viewport:** Auto-detect locations when the map viewport changes.
* **Search Radius**: Enable the **Show Radius** option to let customers set a search radius for nearby stores. You can adjust the **Default Distance** slider to define the default radius on the map, allowing customers to view stores within the range you prefer.

* **Order locations:** Adjust the order of locations based on **priority, distance, store name, date created**
***
### **3. First Map Loading**
You can choose how the map focuses on the initial load:
* **Auto-detect Customer's Address**: Automatically detects the customer’s location and shows nearby stores.
* **Manual Default Address**: Set a default location that is focused on when the map loads.\

* **Display All Stores on the List and Map**: The map will zoom out to show all stores at once, fitting them within the view.
***
### **4. Store Information Visibility**
You can control which store information is shown on the **Info Window Content** (the popup on the map) and the **Menu Block**.

These settings provide full control over how the store locator page works, ensuring the map and store information behave in a way that best suits your customers' needs.
