# Markers

Markers are displayed using a traditional "map markers" icon, and are HTML elements. 

To add one to your Location post, press "Replace Drawing" and click on the map, or search for a location, or enter a latitude and longitude.

{% hint style="info" %}
To set a **custom image** as your marker, use the Icon & Label Location type instead of the marker type (this is because Mapbox and Maplibre don't generally play very nicely with custom icons for traditional markers).
{% endhint %}

### Color

Set a color for the marker.

### Scale

Adjust the marker size.

### Rotation

Rotate the marker around a central point.

### Anchor

Choose where the marker is anchored to the underlying map point.

### Hover Effects <sup><sub>*<mark style="color:green;">\[Pro]</mark>*<sub></sup>

You can change the **Color, Scale,** and **Rotation** on hover.

### Default Zoom Level

Set the zoom level when this point is clicked or zoomed.
