Genealogical information is very broad and can be extremely detailed. Displaying it poses a challenge that Gramps takes on by dividing and organizing the information into a series of Categories, each with their own Views. Each View displays a portion of the total information, selected according to a particular category. This will become clearer as we explore the different Categories.
Clicking once sorts in ascending order, clicking again sorts in descending order. The {{man label|Column Editor}} dialog may be used to add, remove and rearrange the displayed columns.
===Map Service===If a place has been highlighted, you may select the {{man button|Attempt to see selected locations with a Map Service (OpenstreetMap, Google Maps, loading...}} button to attempt to display the place in a web browser.The map service can be chosen from From the {{man button|Select a Map Service}} drop down list under you can choose the black triangle map service you want to use from the right of the map button.following three options:* '''OpenStreetMap'''(default)* GoogleMaps* EniroMaps
Your default web browser should open, attempting to use either the longitude and latitude coordinates or the place name to display the location using the Google Maps provider web site. Different map services might have different requirements for the location description.
This feature is limited, and may not always produce the results you desire.

# Where to save the tiles of the map (default is ''$HOME/.gramps/maps''). Be careful, it can take several gigabytes.
# The zoom level when we center the map or when we select one marker. Every time the Geographic View redraws the map, this zoomlevel will be used# Use keypad for shortcuts. Either we choose the + and - from the keypad if we select this or we use the characters from the keyboard.
=====Specific views=====
See the description of the view.
====How to zoom and move around the map ?====
=====Zoom in and Zoom out the map=====
To zoom, you can use :
# The +/- buttons on the top left of the map
# The scroll mouse.
# The "+" or "-" key on the keypad (default).
You can replace the numeric keypad by the alpha numeric keyboard in the configuration view.
=====Move around the map=====
To move around the map, you can :
# Clic on the map, then drag it.
# Use the arrows.
====The mouse actions on the map====
====Adding or Linking to a place====
For this, click on the right button of the mouse, you'll get a popup menu.
In this menu, you can select {{man label|Add place }} or {{man label|Link place}}
When you add a place or try to link a place to the position of the mouse, you'll get a place selection in a region.
Another way to set latitude and longitude :
* Download the [[Place completion tool]] via the menu {{man menu[[4.1_Addons#Installing_Addons_in_Gramps|Help->Plugin Manager}}Addons manager]]. If you download the data of your country, this tool can add latitude-longitude to all your places.
====How to change the map provider ?====
For this, click on the right button of the mouse, you'll get a popup menu.
In this menu, you can select lock or unlock zoom and position.
===Prerequisites to see the geography view===
For gramps 4.x, you need to install osmgpsmap version 1.0 and above and the associated gir package.
For example on ubuntu, you must have : gir1.2-osmgpsmap-1.0 and libosmgpsmap-1.0-0
===Possible problems===
A Note is pure text, as stored in the other objects.
The functionality of the notes View is similar to the other views. The view lists all {{man label|Notes}} stored in the {{man label|Family Tree}}. Using the menu {{man menu|View ->Configure View...}} you open the {{man label|Column Editor}} and you can change the displayed columns. The possibilities are {{man label|Preview}}, {{man label|ID}}, {{man label| Type}}, {{man label|Private}}, {{man label|Tags}} and {{man label|MarkerLast Changed}}.
The {{man label|Type}} can be (amongst others): ''Event Note'', ''Address Note'',''Source text'', ''Place Note''
Double-clicking on a Note in the list will bring up a window where you can edit the Note. You can change fonts, font color and background color. A spellchecker is available for ''English'' and your local language.
By selecting two notes you can use {{man menu|Edit > Merge...}} from the menu to merge them.
