# Welcome to the Highcharts Maps JS (highmaps) Options Reference

These pages outline the chart configuration options, and the methods and properties of Highcharts objects.

# mapView.fitToGeometry

Fit the map to a geometry object consisting of individual points or polygons. This is practical for responsive maps where we want to focus on a specific area regardless of map size - unlike setting `center` and `zoom`, where the view doesn't scale with different map sizes.

The geometry can be combined with the padding option to avoid touching the edges of the chart.
