# Balloon and hint
Open in CodeSandbox
On the map you can display
the balloon and hint.
Links to the balloon and hint managers are contained in the
balloon
and hint fields of the map object.
The managers are implemented as the map.Balloon and map.Hint classes,
but don't create instances of these classes yourself —
use the corresponding fields of the map object.
The geo objects and other entities on the map have access to the balloon and hint.
Use the corresponding properties and options
(the balloon and hint) prefixes) to describe the balloon and hint of a geo object/hotspot.
The coordinates of the balloon and the hint will be calculated automatically.
