Community Map

A satellite map of the community with a pin on every property. Useful for orienting yourself, finding a neighbor’s unit, or seeing the layout of the HOA at a glance.

What the map shows

Every active property in the community’s roster that has latitude and longitude on file shows up as a pin. Clicking a pin opens a popup with the address and the number of residents currently linked to that property. Properties without coordinates aren’t plotted (those need an admin to add lat/lng on the property record).

Centering on your property

If your account is linked to a property with coordinates, the map has a “Center on my property” affordance that pans and zooms to your pin. A small control rail in the corner also lets you recenter on the community, jump to your current location, switch between the tilted 2.5D and flat top-down views, toggle satellite imagery on and off (with street names kept visible), and take the map fullscreen, which is handy on a phone or for a presentation.

Opting out of the map

Two independent privacy switches affect what shows here. an admin can hide a property from the map entirely (rare. usually used for vacant or sensitive units), and any resident can opt out of being counted in the resident-count popup on their property’s pin from the privacy section of /profile. The pin still exists; you just don’t add to the count.

Pins aren’t per-person
The map shows properties, not individual residents. There’s no way to see who lives at a given pin from the map itself; the popup only carries the address and an aggregate count.

What admins see

Admins see every active property, including ones flagged hidden by the property-level toggle, so they can verify the full roster is mapped correctly. Resident-side opt-outs from the profile privacy toggle still apply (the resident count on each pin only counts opted-in profiles), but no property is hidden from the admin view by either of the two privacy switches.
