# Google Maps User

As explained before, the main use for ((Gmap|Google Map)) is to provide a way to store geolocations from user input easily, and provide an easy display of such a map.

## Set up your coordinates

You can set up the coordinates of your location through "((MyTiki)) > Preferences > Personal Information", as Longitude and Latitud (in WGS84/Decimal degress).

{BOX()}
{DIV(style='text-align: center')}{img src="img/wiki_up/googlemap_user_01.png" }{DIV}
{BOX}

If you don't know them, you can use the "Google Map Locator" link instead (**tiki-gmap_locator.php?for=user**)

{BOX()}
{DIV(style='text-align: center')}{img src="img/wiki_up/googlemap_user_02.png" }{DIV}
{BOX}

There, you have some buttons to make commons actions related to the Google Map for that user or for the whole tiki:

| {DIV(style='text-align: center')}**Link**{DIV} | {DIV(style='text-align: center')}**Action** {DIV} |
|---|---|
| *Back to preferences* | Go back to your preferences screen |
| *Save clicked point* | Save that point (**Longitude**, **Latitude**, and **scale** fields, on the left of the button) |
| *Save current view as default* | Save that view as the default for that user |
| *Reset to site-wide default* | Save that view as the default for the whole tiki site |


At last, you can see the users map through "**tiki-gmap_usermap.php**" (hibrid map in the screenshot: Satellite + Geographic Map):

{BOX()}
{DIV(style='text-align: center')}{img src="img/wiki_up/googlemap_user_03_hibrid.png" }{DIV}
{BOX}
