# Configure Salesforce Maps Global and Permission Group Settings

Global preferences apply org-wide, and permission group settings apply only to the users in each permission group. Configure both before rolling out Maps to your users.

## Configure Permission Group Settings

Permission group settings apply to the users assigned to each group. Configure them per group so users get the behavior that fits how they work.

1. From **Setup > Installed Packages**, find Salesforce Maps and click **Configure**.
2. Open **Permission Groups** and select the group.
3. Click **Edit**.
4. To improve the plotting time of marker layers on mobile, select **Visible Area Enabled on Mobile by Default**. When selected, Maps restricts results to the current map view, so only previously geocoded records plot. To let users see all records, leave it cleared.
5. Save.

## Configure Global Preferences

Global preferences apply org-wide.

1. From **Setup > Installed Packages**, find Salesforce Maps and click **Configure**.
2. Open the global preferences settings.
3. To make route visibility follow your role hierarchy, select **Routing Role Security**. If you leave it cleared, any user can view and create routes for other users.
4. Save.
