Custom Icons for StoyMaps

[AstridF]

It would be great if there were an option to add our own custom icons instead of the generic ones — especially for the Map Tour layout (when starting from an existing feature layer). We often need more detailed or complex icons than what’s currently available.

Yeah, custom icon is very much needed.

At this time, you can select a flat, single color icon that is added within a colored circle, and that serves as the map marker (see examples, below).

Is this request asking for the ability to 1) upload similar flat-style icons beyond what is currently available in the picker, or 2) upload new map marker image files that completely replace the colored circle+icon markers that are available today?

Hi, yes, the second option. We have image files that we want to use instead of the default circle + icon markers. A designer created custom icons for us, and I assumed that updating them through the Visualisation tab in Map Viewer would automatically apply the new icons to the features, but it doesn’t seem to. It would be great if StoryMaps allowed us to upload our own custom icons.
