# Accessing SageMaker geospatial
<a name="access-studio-classic-geospatial"></a>

**Note**  
Currently, SageMaker geospatial capabilities are only supported in the US West (Oregon) Region and in Studio Classic.  
If you don't see the SageMaker geospatial UI available in your current Studio Classic instance check to make sure you are currently in the US West (Oregon) Region.

A domain is required to access SageMaker geospatial. If you created a domain prior to November 30, 2023 the default experience is Studio Classic.

If you created a domain after November 30, 2023 or if you have migrated to Studio, then you can use the following procedure to activate Studio Classic from within Studio to use SageMaker geospatial features.

To learn more about creating a domain, see [Onboard to Amazon SageMaker AI domain](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sagemaker/latest/dg/gs-studio-onboard.html).
