This is about the general settings for the plugin, found in the Settings section under the Maps menu item.

### Default Access Token <sup><sub>*<mark style="color:blue;">\[Mapbox]</mark>*<sub></sup>

This token will automatically load into a new map when you create one, so you don't have to add it manually every time.

### Google Maps API Key <sup><sub>*<mark style="color:blue;">\[Google Maps]</mark>*<sub></sup>

You need to enter in your Google Maps API key here if you want to use Google Maps for your map.

### Gutenberg Editor

Choose whether to turn off or on the more modern Gutenberg editing interface with Maps, Lines, Locations, and Polygons.

### Public Pages

You may not want people to be able to directly access the various types of post types that Mapster creates. You can edit that here for all the relevant post types.

### Permalinks

Set custom permalinks so that links to your map features don't show the default "mapster-wp-\<feature\_type>" permalink. This is great for your SEO and user experience.
