Filtering by a Place Name
===

###### tags: `Public Maps`

To search for public map layers by a place (town, city, etc) of your choosing, click on “By a place name” in the navigation panel. This will place pins on the places that share this name. Click on the pin to choose which location you want to filter by and click the blue “Show available maps” button in the overview that pops up on the screen. The available maps will appear in a [floating panel](/W2hk9FJOQW-iBX806hOHoA) on the right.
