How it works
- Upload your own markers. Use your logo or any image as a map pin.
- Icon editor. Pick a shape and color, add a glyph from thousands of symbols, and set its color and size. No graphics program needed.
- Standard icons. About 100 ready-made icons for common places: coffee, food, lodging, beaches, trails, transit and more.
- Automatic icons. Assign an icon to each category, tag or post type, and every location in it gets that marker automatically.
- Icon size. Scale all markers up or down to suit your map.
Add it to your site
- Open a map in the editor and click a marker’s icon to choose a standard icon, upload an image, or open the icon editor.
- For automatic icons, go to MapPress › Settings › Icons and pick an icon for each category or post type.
FAQ
How do I use a custom marker image in WordPress?
