# Map

The component for adding a map.

```
object Map
```

## Discussion

Use the `Map` component to display a location or geographical area on a map. You can display multiple pins on a map by setting the `items` property. (To display a specific point of interest, use the [`Place`](/documentation/AppleNewsFormat/Place) component.)

You can omit the `latitude` and `longitude` properties for map if at least one item is added to the array of items that defines the location you want to display on the map.

> Note:
> To add a map using Markdown, see <doc://com.apple.applenews/documentation/AppleNews/using-markdown-with-apple-news-format#Maps>.
