# Global Settings

```dart
FlutterMapTileCaching.settings;
```

Settings change the functionality of FMTC throughout a project, and can be useful to setup customizations that are needed across multiple calls.

For example, a project with multiple [`getTileProvider()`](/v8/usage/integration.md) calls can configure the [flutter\_map Integration](/v8/usage/integration.md#tile-provider-settings) here, to reduce duplication and improve maintainability.
