# Lists The List is an interface that will present locations to your users as a list on your map. This is perfect for creating a [Store Locator](/maps/lists/store-locator.md).

### Include Geocoder If you want to include a location search on top of your list, use the Geocoder Control in the "Controls" section, and it will interact naturally with the List. ### Sort by Distance Sorts by the distance of the current map's center (adjusting as user searches or moves). ### Show Distance Show distance from the map center to the shape's center. You can also choose the **units**. ### Listing Type You can make the list eternally scrollable, or have it break into paginated sections. If paginated, you can choose the **number of locations** to show on the list at a single time. ### Render in External Div If you want the list to render outside the map in a custom div, put the div ID here. ### List Order ^_*\[Pro]* Automatically sort the items in your list by menu order, title, slug, or ID. By default, they render by date. ### Display Images ^_*\[Pro]* Show thumbnail images above the title in the list. ### Group by Category ^_*\[Pro]* You can group items together by their categories into individual accordion lists, further compressing your list. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
