GroupMap allows you to choose, design, and change map titles, descriptions, colors, icons, images, and charts.
To design a map:
- Open the map customization page (see Customise your map).

Changing Descriptions of your map Category
Select a map Category you wish to change, then click on the Description cell and type your description of the map Category, then click OK.
Changing Icons in your map / Uploading Icons for your map
Select a map Category you wish to change, then click on the Icon, located on the bottom left-hand side and select your preferred icon of the map Category, then click OK.
If you want to upload your own icons, we recommend using a Vector image such as an SVG file to avoid distortions as different browser mechanisms tend to distort other formats.
In general
- Raster images (like PNG) are scaled to fit (no fixed aspect ratio)
- Vector images (like SVG) are resized preserving the image aspect ratio.
Changing image opacity
Select the image that you want, then select IMAGE OPACITY and increase the percentage to make it more visible and vice versa.

For example, you can use columns instead of quadrants.
