Hey Glide community, I’ve got some issues with city guide templates, can you help ? · Can we change the location icons colors and how? The idea is to clearly make the difference between two categories (food &activities)? · Regarding the « ID address preview » while you are still on the map (footer), the name of the place appears twice. Is it possible to change the second one into a new category of information? · In the places description, is it possible to insert emoticons? · Is it possible use personal icons instead of your« standard » icons for the main menu (currently : Visit / Food &Drink / Learn)? Thank you for your help, ---

- At the moment, you can’t change the default location pins - Make sure you’ve configured the properties of the map layout so that all of them are reading from different columns ![26](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/1X/99e98177b369e3d5d85f8cdd9fc309d248664047.png) - I believe you can put emoji in all text fields in Glide (I may be wrong…). Have you tried it? - Not yet! But custom icons are planned. ---

I’m also interested to change the map pin color as a new feature. It will be great to have this possibilities in order to distinguish different categories of stores. Thank u ---

I could also use multiple colors / types of pushpins on the maps for items of different categories. Thanks for all your hard work Glidesters… ---

updated topic name and linked to updated feature request and archived > [@Customize Markers in Maps (Pro App)](https://community.glideapps.com/t/customize-markers-in-maps-pro-app/10366): > > Please add the ability to customize markers in maps. One suggestion on how to do this might be to allow uploading an icon as component for each row of data. This would be used as an icon for that entry. ---
