Font awesome markers

[oyvindsolstad]

I can't figure out how to use other markers - using font awesome.

The docs say:

A note specified in this manner should have the following frontmatter tags:
location: [lat, long] REQUIRED
mapmarker: OPTIONAL

But how?

I have a map where markers are from all notes linked FROM this note, using the linksFrom command.

The note has links both to states AND capitols.

On the individual notes, I'm using location in frontmatter to specify. Example for Oslo:

location: [59.916972809425545, 10.75175617746631]

What I would like to do is to use the icon in Font Awesome in the front matter for cities, and the icon for states, so that they stand apart on the map.

Is this possible? How do I write the code in frontmatter on the individual notes? I've tested these:

location: [59.916972809425545, 10.75175617746631] mapmarker: <city>

location: [59.916972809425545, 10.75175617746631] mapmarker: city

location: [59.916972809425545, 10.75175617746631] mapmarker: [city]

location: [59.916972809425545, 10.75175617746631] mapmarker: ["city"]

…but can't make it work. What am I doing wrong? Or is this possible at all?

You can create additional marker "types" in the settings tab. You then use the name you gave the marker type in mapmarker.

Yey! Thanks!

And the way to specify was like this:

mapmarker: [city]

Thank you! This plugin really makes Obsidian an amazing tool.

mapmarker: city should also work 😁

It sure did! 😄
