- How do i add an icon in MazeMap?
Answer: Yes!
1. Send icons in proper format
We need to receive the icons in vector format from the customer. Preferably .SVG, but .AI is also acceptable.

If you only have the icons in .EPS format you could easily convert them to .SVG using an online converter like for example: https://convertio.co/eps-svg/ |
2. Archive the raw icon files to a proper location
Currently, there exists a folder in Jottacloud for custom customer icons. It's in the MazeMap Design group, under "IKONER" → "CUSTOMER SPECIFIC" → "<customer name>"
Make a new folder for the current customer and put the icons in there. Preferably make a new folder for the raw icons, such as "raw_icons".
3a. Generate proper sized icons
We "normalize" the sizing of the icons using a template in Adobe Illstrator or Sketch.
Using Adobe Illustrator:

3b. (Optional) adjust icons for cartographic usage. Add white borders/backgrounds.
This step seems to be destined for omittance, as it is time-consuming, and only works if MazeMap manually edits each icon from the customer.
If customer will upload themselves in the future, then this step will probably not be done unless we advise the customer to do it.
4. Upload icons in the customer account in MazeMap ADMIN
5. Use icons in the map editor and publish
Examples of possible bugs:
All MazeMap customers can now upload up to 20 custom icons for free. If you wish to upload more custom icons, please contact support@mazemap.com
Icons must be in SVG format and will automatically be re-sized to fit a 30X30 size. For guidelines on making your own custom icons, see here: https://mazemap.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/MCSH/pages/61640190/Custom+Icons+Guidelines
1. When you login to the Map Editor, you should now see this option for Icons.
2. You will go to a screen showing your existing icons. Click the green circle with the plus sign to upload new icons. If are unable to select your files, it is because they are not in SVG format.
3. Edit/delete icons
a) You can edit the name of your icon file here.
b) You can delete icons easily by clicking “delete icon” or re-upload a replacement.
