# Map Attributes

To display the locations of a job, contact, or company on a map, an address or a coordinate attribute must be defined.

Examples of an [address type attribute](https://help.12dsynergy.com/docs/v5mapattributes#11-how-to-set-an-address-type-attribute) are Job Address, Company Address, etc.

Examples of a [coordinate type attribute](https://help.12dsynergy.com/docs/v5mapattributes#12-how-to-set-a-coordinate-type-attribute) are Job Location, Company Location, Contact location, etc.
