What do you think? Which icons (and colors) would you like to see?
These icons are a part of the open source Map Icons project and are available for download under the GNU General Public License v3. We strongly encourage you to download the source, contribute to the project and design some icons for UMapper!
Special thanks to Nico Mollet for starting the project!
Very nice and very helpful to improve the appearance of maps!
Numbered icons.
