# Location

The **Transaction Map** feature lets you add and visualize locations tied to your transactions, providing a geographical perspective on your spending habits. Here's how it works:

***

**Adding a Location to a Transaction**

When entering or updating a transaction, you can attach a specific location to it. This could be a store, gas station, or even your favorite café. Simply enable the **Location** option when creating or editing your transaction. You can view and edit the location directly on the map if needed.

**Viewing Transactions on the Map**

Once locations are added to transactions, you can visualize them on a map using the **Transaction Map** feature. This map provides a visual representation of where your money is being spent. Key highlights include:

* **Heat Map Visualization**: Areas with more spending activity will show up as "hotspots." This helps you identify the locations where most of your transactions take place.
* **Cluster View**: If you have multiple transactions in a specific area, they will appear as clusters on the map. Clicking on a cluster expands it, showing the individual transactions within that area.

**Interactive Map Controls**

The map is fully interactive, allowing you to:

* **Click on Clusters**: Explore all transactions within a specific geographic cluster by clicking on it. This makes it easy to see how many purchases you've made in a particular area.
* **Change Transaction Location**: If you need to update the location of any transaction, simply click on the pin and select a new spot on the map and confirm.

***

The Transaction Map provides an engaging way to monitor your spending and see where you're allocating funds. Whether you're identifying spending hotspots or correcting locations, this tool adds a valuable layer to your budget tracking.
