# Will Mapeo work out-of-the-box for me?

When you install Mapeo, it comes with default options that can be used right away, without any customization. In the following pages, this section details what is automatically included with Mapeo so you can determine whether the app will meet your needs out-of-the-box.

* [Default configuration](/complete-reference-guide/will-mapeo-work-out-of-the-box-for-me/default-configuration.md)
* [Default background map](/complete-reference-guide/will-mapeo-work-out-of-the-box-for-me/default-base-map.md)

Mapeo offers many options for customizing categories, icons, questions and background maps but the current customization process requires significant technical knowledge and will not be accessible to all users.
