How to change a destination’s pin or icon
Click the stop’s Icon chip to open its Icon tab, pick a marker from Mappi icons (or your own uploads), then adjust Size or turn on Custom color. Turn off Show icon to hide the marker.
Step by step
Open the Icon tab
In your destination list, click the stop’s Icon chip. The stop’s settings open on the Icon tab, with a live preview of its marker.
Pick an icon
Choose a marker from Mappi icons. The first tile is the Classic pin, and a Search icons box appears once the library is long. Your choice shows on the map right away.
Resize or recolor it
Drag Size (24 to 240 px), or type a value and press Enter. Turn on Custom color to pick a Pin color or Icon color. Icon facing the wrong way? Turn on Flip image.
More icon options
- Turn off Show icon to hide the marker (and its glow) for this stop only. The label still shows.
- Custom color fills every visible pixel of an icon with one color, so it works best with single-color icons and logos. On the classic pin it recolors the pin’s body only.
- Click Reset at the top of the tab to go back to the default pin.
- Want your own logo or vehicle? Upload your own icon with Mappi Pro.
