Changing Icons in your map / Uploading Icons for your map

Select the map Category you wish to change, then click the icon button located on the right side of the section editor. Choose your preferred icon for 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 modify the layout to emphasize one category over the others.
