  • A marker is a symbol, a shape or a combination of the two that you position on a map to indicate where a slide is located.
  • When you mouse over a marker on a map, it changes appearance and its associated slide appears instantaneously.
  • MapsAlive lets you create your own markers or choose from a selection of preset markers.
Marker Symbols
  • You can choose one of the markers that comes with MapsAlive.
  • You can create a marker by uploading any kind of image a graphic, an icon, or a photo to be used as a symbol.
  • Marker symbols can be related to the subject of their associated slides. For example, a symbol of a coffee cup could be used as a marker for a slide of a coffee house.
