# Alignment in Maps

### Map Guides

As you move objects in the map, map guides help you align the edges of each object neatly with their neighbors.

> To turn off guides, choose Guides from the View menu.

### Alignment Options

In map view, the View menu offers a variety of new options to automatically align selected notes. These include:

- Align top, bottom, left, and right edges.
- Align horizontal and vertical centers.
- Distribute the selected objects evenly along the horizontal or vertical axes.
- Give the selected objects equal heights or widths.

In addition, do not overlook the Note menu options to:

- Expand the selected notes horizontally until their titles fit.
- Expand the selected notes vertically until their titles fit.
- Scale the selected notes’ title font so the title fits in a note of the current size.
