map view

Spatial representation interface

Map view is a display mode showing information as a geographical map, typically in navigation apps, games, or data visualization tools.

It contrasts with other viewing options like list view, satellite view, or street view: Switch to map view to see nearby restaurants.

In software development, map view also refers to the interface component that renders such displays.
