# 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 %}
