The Maps component lets you add real-world geographic context to your whiteboard.

Place interactive maps on the board and mark important locations with pins to visualize markets, customers, events, routes, or project sites.

It’s ideal for marketing planning, territory mapping, logistics strategy, and location-based brainstorming.
