Hello Sometimes I want to know the nickname of a pin in the map without touching it. So I had the idea to create a nickname and put it on map. It’s like when I look I immediately found out without searching for details. but how can i do it I’ve looked through this example but I still don’t know how to get the name of a place to display without clicking on the map. > [@CSS: Custom color for map pins](https://community.glideapps.com/t/css-custom-color-for-map-pins/30641): > > We have a little bit of a color show going on here wink As promised in my last thread about showing a journey view in your app, here’s the thread for custom color map pins. Requirements A tab with details view You know what status you can have, what color should they be You know what field you will use as the title of the pin The columns Single code: A template column to get each line’s customized CSS, with dynamic info for the pins’ title and color code. J… Anyone have any ideas for this, I’m very grateful. ---

Just wanna say I like this idea a lot. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/a/b/ab3f1d92bab2f61a095c3e94d48cf8bbca87e1d5.jpeg) I added a column called “Short pin” to have these short names, then added a bit of CSS to my code. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/d/3/d3e5353b6a7a3740ebb1e3fad7d0ec931de8b3f5.png) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/e/4/e4e566506e273fa9f763141e51d54de94e06feeb.png) > **[Map Concepts](https://needy-tongue-1969.glideapp.io/)** ---

@ThinhDinh Another challenge. If we can target the d attribute (see screen shot) - then we could manipulate the figure (made up by path in svg) - could you do that? We could do a star, square, etc I tried but seems that I should study some more css 😉 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/9/8/987097d5480dc4e1df24ee065e360f2972f7853b.png) ---

Haha I did try that months ago right after the “coloring” post but failed miserably. I will try that again when I have time. I was thinking it could be nice to have it to “categorize” the pins visually, like restaurants, hotels, cafes etc.
