When locations are assigned to multiple categories or subcategories, displaying a meaningful marker can become challenging, and the default marker shown by Mapme may not align with your or your viewers’ expectations.
To enhance user experience and improve clarity, Mapme allows you to override the default marker settings, giving you full control over how markers appear on the map.
Override all markers on the map
You can override all the markers on the map with a unique marker of your choice.
The markers you defined for each category and subcategory will still be displayed in the legend on the map overview as well as in the list legend.
Set markers for overview and filtered views
For maps with multilevel categories, you can set which marker is displayed on the map overview and filtered views.
For both the map overview and the filtered views, you can choose to display the parent category or the subcategory markers.
We choose default settings which are a good match for most use cases:
- Parent category marker on the map overview
- Subcategory marker on the filtered views
Note that if a location belongs to multiple parents or subcategories, we display the marker from the first category or subcategory in the list.
Check this example. Select all the hotels to see the markers displayed on the map in the filtered view.
How it works
The marker override feature is located at the bottom of the Category tab.
Override all markers
