# Creating a map focused on a region
You can configure your map charts to stay focused on a region of interest, such as a country. You can also set the minimum and maximum zoom levels of your map. This controls how far the Qlik Sense zooms into the map when you make selections.
The following example explains how to make a map with the focus locked on a single region and with a custom maximum zoom level.

The map chart with panning limited to just the region of interest 
This map has set a pan limit so users cannot pan the focus of the map visualization away from the region of interest. Users can drill down between separate map layers, but they cannot scroll outside of the initial view.
This map visualization uses a point layer and an area layer with two drill-down dimensions. One drill-down dimension enables the area layer to display counties after states are selected. The other drill-down dimension enables the point layer to display cities as a points after a state is selected in the area layer.
A zoom limit is applied to the map chart. When a state is selected in the area layer, the map drills down to display the counties in the area layer and the cities in a separate point layer. The map remains zoomed a level appropriate for a general regional overview.

3. Create two drill-down dimensions, one of State and County and one of State and City.
4. Add a map and in Presentation, set a Custom zoom level with a maximum zoom of 7x zoom.
5. Add a point layer with State -City as the dimension. Set the following properties:
* In Location, set the scope to Custom and enter 'USA' in Country.
