# center map view

In the center of the map view you will see a world map.
In addition, you can assign geo coordinates to an image, by activating the [filmstrip](../module-reference/utility-modules/shared/filmstrip.md) on the lower panel (press Ctrl+F)and dragging the image icon from the film-strip to a position on the map. Darktable will record the new location (latitude and longitude ) as part of the image metadata and this data will be included in exported images.

Is it "filmstrip" or "film-strip" ?

filmstrip

You can navigate within the map using your mouse. Left-click and drag to move the map. Use the scroll-wheel to zoom in and out.
In the center panel you will see a world map sourced from an Internet provider. Darktable keeps a disk cache of previously loaded map data so new/updated map data is only available when you are online.
You can choose your provider from:
OpenStreetMap, Maps-For-Free, OpenCycleMap, Public Transport, Google Maps, Google Satellite, Google Hybrid, Virtual Earth, Virtual Earth Satellite, Virtual Earth Hybrid.

I don't think we should list these, they're obvious and subject to change with the underlying library.

Definitely, a world map is NOT sourced from an Internet provider. An ISP only provides access to the Internet where another organization provides a mapping service.

Victor, Internet provider does not equal ISP, but I take your point that users could be confused so would you agree with this text:

"In the center panel you will see a world map sourced from an Internet based mapping service"

Really??? Can you provide some proof of this statement?
