Change the marker image

The plugin allows you to choose between two types of markers. You can choose to display the default type provided by Google Maps, or you can upload and use your custom type.

To choose between the two types, do the following:

  1. Edit a map
  2. Open the widget “Progress Map Settings”.
  3. Click on the menu “Marker settings”.
  4. To use the default type of Google Maps, select the option “Default type” in the field “Marker image type”.
  5. To use your custom type , select the option “Customized type” in the field “Marker image type”, then upload your custom icon in the field “Marker image”.

Override the marker image for specific markers on your map

By default, the marker image that will be used for a marker is the one set in your map settings under “Marker settings => Marker image” or the one used for the marker category under “Marker categories settings”.

To override the option, do the following:

  1. Edit your post/location.
  2. Scroll down to the widget “Progress Map: Add locations” and click on the menu “Marker”.
  3. Upload a custom icon in the field “Marker icon”.
  4. Save your post.

Use a custom icon for markers when displayed on single maps

By default, the marker image that will be used for a marker is the one set in your map settings under “Marker settings => Marker image” or the one used for the marker category under “Marker categories settings”.

To use a custom icon for markers on single maps only, do the following:

  1. Edit your post/location.
  2. Scroll down to the widget “Progress Map: Add locations” and click on the menu “Marker”.
  3. Upload a custom icon in the field “Marker icon”.
  4. Select the option “Yes” in the field “Use this image for single post only?”.
  5. Save your post.
