# Maps

The CARTO Workspace includes functionalities for creating and publishing maps in a simple manner, using the CARTO map tool: Builder.

Builder is designed to allow technical and non-technical audiences to visualize, explore, and filter large amount of location data in your browser.

This guide will teach you how to create a map in the CARTO Builder, and perform data analysis by adding data to a map, adding filters, and more.

In the Maps section of the Workspace, you will see the list of your current maps. If you haven’t created a map yet, you will see the following page:
