Opening the map

Navigate to People → Map in the sidebar. The map loads with all contacts who have a location set on their profile — either as a city, country, or approximate coordinates.

A miniature version of the map also appears as a widget on the dashboard. Click it to open the full-page map.

How locations are set

Rolo populates the map from location data in contact profiles. Location can come from:

• Manual entry: Set a city or country on any contact's profile under the location field. Rolo geocodes it to coordinates automatically.

• Imported contacts: Google Contacts and phone contacts that include location data will have it mapped automatically on import.

• AI extraction: When you log a note that mentions a location — "met Jamie in San Francisco" — Rolo may suggest adding that location to their profile.

Using the map

Zoom and pan using standard map controls — scroll to zoom, drag to pan. Each contact appears as a marker at their location. When multiple contacts share a city, they're clustered into a numbered dot — click the cluster to expand it.

Click any marker to see the contact's name, company, and rarity tier in a small tooltip. Click the tooltip to open their full profile.

Use cases

• Trip planning: Before visiting a city, open the map, zoom in, and see who you know there. Filter by rarity to prioritise which contacts are worth scheduling time with.

• Network gaps: Zoom out to see where you have dense clusters and where you have almost no one. If you're expanding into Southeast Asia and your map shows zero contacts there, that's actionable.

• Conference prep: Before a conference in a specific city, check the map for existing contacts nearby who might want to meet up around the same time.

• Team visibility: If you're building a distributed team, the map gives you an instant sense of where your relationships are geographically concentrated.

Adding a location to a contact

Open any contact's profile. In the About tab, find the Location field. Click it to edit and type a city, region, or country. Rolo geocodes it in the background and the marker will appear on the map within a few seconds.

Precision is not required — "New York", "NYC", and "New York, NY" all resolve to the same map coordinates.
