# Options

The `options` property takes a `MapOptions()` object.

```dart
FlutterMap(
    options: MapOptions(
        ...
    ),
);
```

This is where you'll configure most of your global map settings, but not settings that depend on, or affect a specific, map layer.

None of the options are required, but the options property on the `FlutterMap()` is required.
