 When switching between layouts using [ZMK Studio](../../features/studio.md), an attempt is made to automatically infer bindings for the keys in the new layout from the old layout. Keys with the same physical key properties are given the same binding. This approach has some limitations, so for more accurate transference of bindings a position map is used.

-The above example is "lossy" because (unlike the previous "lossless" example) if a user switches from the macropad layout to the numpad layout _and then_ switches from the numpad layout back to the macropad layout, the assignments to the keys present but not listed in the macropad's map are lost.

-This is noticably simpler to write, and can be a useful way of saving flash space for memory-constrained devices. The above is a "lossy" mapping, though. While "lossless" non-`complete` mappings are possible, they can be counter-intuitive enough that it may be easier to write the full position map instead.
