If you have created multiple tables in your Base, you can select which table to use at this point. The same applies to views.

Specify here a text column where you have entered addresses or place names, or a geo-location column from which to display the locations on the map. Note that the map plugin will only work if you have used a column of this type in your table.

If you have color-marked with colored options in the table rows , you can select at this point which of these should determine the color of the map markers.

Up to now, you have to move the mouse pointer over a map marker to make its label visible. If you want to label the locations permanently, you can define a column here from which the respective entries are displayed next to the location pins.
