If you design territories in more than one country, you’ve hit this: you’re working on Germany, but France, Poland, and half of Europe are cluttering the edges of your map. The world map layer is a simple toggle that clears the noise. Turn it off and only your working country shows; turn it on when you want the surrounding context back.
What the Toggle Does
On, and AlignMix draws the rest of the world around your data as a backdrop. Off, and everything except the country you’re aligning disappears, so the map is just your territories against clean space. It’s a display setting, nothing more, but it makes a real difference to how readable a single-country alignment feels, especially in dense regions where neighbors crowd the frame.
Why It Matters for International Work
Territory design outside the US runs on postcode geographies, and AlignMix ships with them for the UK, Germany, France, and more. When you’re building a national alignment for one of those markets, you rarely want the neighboring countries in the picture. Hiding them keeps the focus where the work is, and it makes a screenshot for a country manager look like it’s about their country, not the continent.
The reverse is handy too. Managing several countries at once? Leave the world layer on so you can see how your regional coverage sits together, then toggle it off to zoom into whichever market needs attention.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the world map layer in AlignMix?
A toggle that shows or hides the surrounding countries around your data. Off, only your working country displays; on, the rest of the world appears as context.
Can AlignMix design territories outside the United States?
Yes. It includes postcode geographies for the UK, Germany, France, Australia, Canada, Japan, and other markets, so you can build territories the same way you would with US ZIP codes. See the international geography pages.
Does hiding countries change my data?
No. The world map layer only affects what’s drawn on screen. Your territories, accounts, and assignments are untouched.
