# Explorer

The **Explorer** shows registry data on a map. Use it to view Geo-Objects and their history, edit them, add new ones, and explore how they're related to other data.

{% hint style="info" %}
The System Administrator, Registry Administrators, Registry Maintainers and Registry Contributors can use the Explorer. Registry Contributors' edits are submitted as change requests.
{% endhint %}

## Opening the Explorer

* Navigate to the **Explorer** page from the sidebar.
* From a list on the [Lists and Spatial Data](/version/v2.0.0/explore/lists-and-spatial-data.md) page:
  * **View on map** opens the Explorer with the list's spatial data as a layer.
  * The eye icon on a row opens the Explorer with that Geo-Object selected.
  * **Spatial Data**, under a version on the set's page, opens that version's spatial data.
  * **Add Geo-Object** opens the Explorer with a new Geo-Object ready to fill in.
* From a curation report, **Resolve** opens the Explorer at the Geo-Object with the problem.

The page has a full-screen map, with a search bar at the top left and buttons to open the **Layer Panel**, the **Attribute Panel** and the **Graph Visualizer**.
