Qlik Geo Analytics Map - How to change map default position

andy_weijie_lu — Mon, 26 Jan 2026 16:26:21 GMT

As you can see, by default USA and Canada are displayed to the right, I want to make them displayed to the left by default.

I know we can make it happen by unchecking 'Zoom to Selection' checkbox, but in this case it does not zoom automatically, can we change the default position to make the them displayed to the left and meanwhile zoom functionality still works?

Hello!

I solved this by choosing "None" as map option and adding an area layer to show the continents (or countries) outline. You can find these easily on the internet. This will force the map center to the center of the file you use.
