# Map Geolocation Dimensions

If your data stream contains geolocation information, you can use the different geolocation dimensions when mapping.

### Required Editions

<table class="slds-table slds-table_bordered slds-max-medium-table_stacked slds-m-bottom_small permission">
        <colgroup>
          <col style="width:50%">
          <col style="width:50%">
        </colgroup>
        <thead class="slds-text-title_caps ">
          <tr class="">
            <th scope="colgroup" class="slds-cell-wrap" colspan="2" style="text-align:center;vertical-align:top;" id="d38732e38">User Permissions Needed</th>
          </tr>
        </thead>
        <tbody>
          <tr class="">
            <td data-label="User Permissions Needed" class="slds-cell-wrap" style="vertical-align:top;" headers="d38732e38 ">To map geolocation dimensions:</td>

            <td class="slds-cell-wrap" style="vertical-align:top;" headers="d38732e38 ">Admin</td>

          </tr>
        </tbody>
      </table>

1. On the **Connect & Mix** tab, select **Data Streams** and then **Data Streams List**.
2. Create a data stream or edit one.
3. To enter the **Mapping** page, click **Map to Model**. All geolocation dimensions are located under Dimensions.
    
    ![Geolocation dimensions in Map to Model page](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-mktg-salesforce_datorama-264-0-0-production-enus/d38a342d-dd4a-4af8-8343-f372280a75dd/salesforce_datorama/images/data/data_mapgeo_dims.png)
    
    The types of geolocation dimensions differ from country to country because each country has its own way of gathering geographical data. These geolocation dimensions can be mapped:
    
    <table class="slds-table slds-table_bordered slds-max-medium-table_stacked slds-m-bottom_small "><tbody><tr class=""><td class="slds-cell-wrap"><strong class="uicontrol">Country</strong></td><td class="slds-cell-wrap">A dimension that must be mapped as a predefined field. You can then map any other additional granularity that you want, such as region, city, ZIP code, and so on.</td></tr><tr class=""><td class="slds-cell-wrap"><strong class="uicontrol">Location Level</strong></td><td class="slds-cell-wrap">No longer needed.</td></tr><tr class=""><td class="slds-cell-wrap"><strong class="uicontrol">Location Value</strong></td><td class="slds-cell-wrap">No longer needed.</td></tr><tr class=""><td class="slds-cell-wrap"><strong class="uicontrol">Region</strong></td><td class="slds-cell-wrap">Differs by country. For example, states in the US, provinces in Canada, and so on.</td></tr><tr class=""><td class="slds-cell-wrap"><strong class="uicontrol">DMA/Metro</strong></td><td class="slds-cell-wrap">Not available for all countries.</td></tr><tr class=""><td class="slds-cell-wrap"><strong class="uicontrol">City</strong></td><td class="slds-cell-wrap">Differs by country.</td></tr><tr class=""><td class="slds-cell-wrap"><strong class="uicontrol">Zip Code</strong></td><td class="slds-cell-wrap">Not valid for all countries.</td></tr><tr class=""><td class="slds-cell-wrap"><strong class="uicontrol">Neighborhood</strong></td><td class="slds-cell-wrap">Not valid for all countries.</td></tr></tbody></table>
    
    Each dimension has its own properties as well. Some are hard-coded, while others can be edited manually. To view a dimension’s properties, select the dimension, and then on the right-hand side of the page, expand the Default Value dropdown list to view the options. For example, here are the attributes of Country.

    Note Make sure that you always map at the most granular level. For example, if both country and city are present in the uploaded data, map both of them.
