The Map View plugin provides an interactive mapping solution for visualizing geolocations within Obsidian notes. It scans your notes for location data and places markers on an interactive map, turning your vault into a personal Geographic Information System (GIS). The plugin supports features such as saving geolocations from various sources, customizable map layers, offline map caching, and embedding maps directly into notes. Users can categorize locations with custom tags, apply different icons, and perform powerful queries to filter and retrieve geographic data.
