A few months ago we asked for your help with designing a default UMapper icon set. Today we are excited to announce that the community-designed icon set has been included with all UMapper accounts! Here are some of them:

Adding custom icons to your map takes only four easy steps:

1. Create a new map and add a marker.
2. With marker selected, click on Marker Appearance option.
3. Inside Marker Appearance dialog select Custom tab.
4. Select an icon and click Submit.

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 all the contributors and to Nico Mollet for starting the open source icon project!
