## Kagi Maps Privacy

Unlike other competing Map services that track your location to serve you ads, Kagi does not track or store your search history or location data.

## Enabling Geolocation
## Kagi Maps 3D View

If you are using the Kagi Basemap, you can tilt the map into a 3D view in two ways:

1. With a mouse: Right-click and hold while moving the mouse up or down.
2. On a touchscreen: Place two fingers horizontally on the screen and slide them up or down.

Both methods adjust the viewing angle, transforming the map from a top-down view to an angled, oblique perspective. This reveals buildings and trees in three dimensions, providing a more realistic representation of the urban landscape. Release the mouse or lift your fingers when you've reached your desired tilt angle.

## Enabling Geolocation {#enabling_geolocation}

By default, Kagi Maps uses your IP address to determine your approximate location and use it as the initial location of the map.
