Key Steps
1. Open the map you want to edit 0:10
Go to Assets > Maps.
Select the specific map you want to update.
This opens the Map Editor, where marker settings can be changed.
2. Open the marker settings in Map Style 0:19
In the Map Editor, click Markers under Map Style.
Use this area to edit the default marker style for points on the map.
This is the best place to update markers that should look the same across all listings or locations.
3. Edit the default marker appearance 0:39
Change the marker color if needed.
Choose a shape such as:
Circle
Square
Star
Diamond
Hexagon
Search for an icon if you want a specific symbol.
Upload your own image or paste an image URL to use as the marker.
4. Set markers to vary by field value 1:15
In Map Style, select Driven by Field.
Choose the field that should control the marker icon.
Each place will display a different icon based on its field value.
Records without a value will use the default marker style (blue circle).
5. Assign icons to categories or field values 1:42
Select the relevant field, such as category.
Review the icons assigned to each value in that field.
Example values may include:
Restaurants
Cafes
Breweries
Museums
Attractions
Parks
Confirm each category has the correct icon style.
6. Edit a specific category marker 2:05
Click the category or value you want to change, such as restaurants.
A panel will appear on the right side.
Click Edit Marker.
Update the marker by changing:
Color
Shape
Icon search result
Uploaded image
When finished, click Close Marker and continue editing other values as needed.
7. Save and verify marker changes 2:44
Marker updates are saved automatically.
Exit the editor and verify the map visually.
Confirm the updated markers appear correctly, such as restaurants showing as a red star.
8. Adjust marker size 2:56
In the Markers section, locate the Size Editor.
Use the size control to increase or decrease marker size.
Choose a size that is readable without overcrowding the map.
9. Add numbers or labels to markers 3:17
Select a field to label each pin.
Use a field with a number type if you want numbered markers.
Example: a custom field like Point Number can display numbers on top of each icon.
Verify the labels appear correctly for all numbered locations.
10. Review clustering and location field settings 3:57
Adjust clustering if you want nearby markers grouped together.
Review the field used for marker location.
By default, pins may use the address field.
If needed, switch to another available field.
If a place has no address and should not appear, configure the map accordingly.
11. Edit markers from the Collection fields 4:17
Return to the dashboard/home page.
Click Collections.
Open the collection connected to the map you want to edit.
Click Fields to view the fields tied to the map filters.
12. Update a marker from a collection field value 4:52
Open the relevant field, such as category.
Click the specific value you want to edit, such as restaurants.
Select Edit Marker.
Search for a new icon or upload your own image.
Click Close Marker when finished.
Changes save automatically, so no manual save is required.
Cautionary Notes
Marker changes are saved automatically, so avoid refreshing or navigating away before confirming the update.
If a field value has no assigned marker, it may fall back to the default blue circle.
When using Driven by Field, make sure the selected field contains consistent values; inconsistent data can cause unexpected icons.
If you upload custom images, ensure the image is clear and appropriately sized for map display.
If you change the location field, verify that all records still display in the correct place on the map.
Tips for Efficiency
Decide first whether you need one universal marker style or field-driven marker variations before editing.
Use the collection field editor when you want to update many map markers tied to the same field values.
Keep a consistent icon style across similar categories to make the map easier to read.
Test one category first, then apply the same approach to the remaining values.
Use marker labels sparingly so the map stays readable, especially when many points are displayed.
