Screenshot of the map card.
To add the Map card to your user interface, click the menu (three dots at the top right of the screen) and then Edit Dashboard. Click the "Add Card" button in the bottom right corner and select Map from the card picker. All options for this card can be configured via the user interface.
{% configuration %}

aspect_ratio:
required: false
description: 'Forces the height of the image to be a ratio of the width. Valid formats: Height percentage value (23%) or ratio expressed with colon or "x" separator (16:9 or 16x9). For a ratio, the second element can be omitted and will default to "1" (1.78 equals 1.78:1).'
type: string
default_zoom:

{% endconfiguration %}
The default_zoom value will be ignored if it is set higher than the current zoom level
after fitting all visible entity markers in the map window. In other words, this can only
be used to zoom the map out by default.
