This article is about the Proxi admin app at app.proxi.co.
Everything below lives in the map editor. Open your map from the Maps page, and use the settings rail on the left — there's a search box at the top of the rail if you can't find a setting. The preview on the right is your real live map, so every change shows instantly, and everything saves automatically.
Branding: Title, Colors, Logo, and Font
Open the Branding section:
Header — your map's Title and Subtitle, plus a Header size slider for how big the logo and title appear.
Brand colors — Primary color (header background and accents), Text color, Featured color, and Cluster accent. Leave any blank to inherit your workspace colors. We'll warn you if your text and background colors are hard to read together.
Logo + cover image — the logo shows in the map header; the cover image is used in link previews if you haven't set a share image.
Custom font — pick from the font list or inherit your workspace font.
Choosing a Map Style
Open Display → Map style and click a style tile — Standard, Satellite, Paper, Watercolor, Night, and many more. There's also a 3D globe switch if you want the map to render as a globe instead of flat.
Your Map's Starting View
The starting view is what visitors see the moment your map opens. In Display → Default view:
Pan, zoom, rotate, or tilt the live preview until it looks right (there are Rotation and Tilt sliders too).
Click Set current view as default. That's it — the panel shows your saved center and zoom.
Two shortcuts: Fit to all places frames every pin automatically, and whenever you wander in the preview, a Save as new default view pill appears right on the map.
Shapes and Image Overlays
The Shapes & Overlays section lets you decorate the map itself:
Shapes — draw polygons, lines, circles, and rectangles right on the preview (a parade route, a district boundary, a festival footprint). Each shape can be styled, renamed, duplicated, or even promoted into a place.
Image overlays — upload an image and anchor it to a real-world spot, then drag the handles to move, scale, and rotate it. Great for hand-drawn maps and event site plans.
Want visitors to be able to switch these on and off? In Filters → Layer filters, turn on Show layer filter to add a Layers dropdown to the map.
A Few More Display Options
Show point list — adds a browsable list alongside the map (with an option to open it automatically).
Hide "Built with Proxi" — removes our badge from your map (available on Pro).
