# loadPriority

A value MapKit JS uses for prioritizing the visibility of specific map features before the underlaying map tiles.

```
loadPriority?: LoadPriority;
```

## Discussion

Use this property to optimize the map-loading experience and prioritize the visibility of specific map features. The available prioritization options are:

- ``doc://com.apple.mapkitjs/documentation/MapKitJS/LoadPriority/LandCover`` — Prioritizes loading of the map land cover and borders, without points of interest (POIs) or labels. This is the default.
- ``doc://com.apple.mapkitjs/documentation/MapKitJS/LoadPriority/PointsOfInterest`` — Prioritizes loading of the full standard map, with rendering of POIs.
- ``doc://com.apple.mapkitjs/documentation/MapKitJS/LoadPriority/None`` — Signifies no preferences over what to prioritize when loading the map.
