# mapControls(_:)

Configures all Map views in the associated environment to have standard size and position controls

## Declaration

```swift
@MainActor @preconcurrency func mapControls(@ViewBuilder _ content: () -> some View) -> some View

```

## Parameters

- `content`: A view builder returning the controls you wish your Map

## Discussion

Discussion You provide the controls you want to appear atop your map. When using a control in conjunction with .mapControls you don’t need to specify a scope. Views that are not MapKit controls will be ignored. Map() .mapControls {     MapScaleView()     MapUserLocationButton() } Controls can be modified individually or all at once. Custom frames and alignments set on controls are ignored. Map() .mapControls {     MapCompass()         .mapControls(.visible)     MapPitchToggle()         .buttonBorderShape(.circular)         .tint(.purple) } .controlSize(.large) On watchOS, space is at a premium. When using the mapControls modifier, MapUserLocationButton and MapCompass are automatically combined if present. Map() .mapControls {     MapUserLocationButton()     MapCompass() }
