# mapView.insets

The individual MapView insets, typically used for non-contiguous areas of a country. Each item inherits from the generic `insetOptions`.

Some of the TopoJSON files of the Highcharts Map Collection include a property called `hc-recommended-mapview`, and some of these include insets. In order to override the recommended inset options, an inset option with a matching id can be applied, and it will be merged into the embedded settings.
