# Selecting a default location

Once you've added a map to your app, you may notice it shows an area centered on London by default. You can change this by adjusting the '**longitude**' and '**latitude**' fields on the MapboxMap element. 

You can set static values or use a 'Do a search for' to look up values in your database:
