Map Marker Lists organizer

Here you can browse through the marker lists and choose one that's suitable for the current map. You can duplicate, delete, or rename lists, add comments, and organize the lists into folders for easier reference. Any list can be customized in the Map Markers pane and saved for re-use if desired.

Each map contains a map marker list and begins with the default list from the template that is used to create it.

To select a map markers list to use for the current map:

  1. Click Format - Map Marker - Assign from Template Organizer.

You'll see a dialog with list names and folders on the left side. When you click on a marker list name you'll see a preview of its marker groups.

  1. Select the list you want to use and click Apply. Choose the list that best meets your needs. You can customize it (add and remove markers, reorganize groups) as desired in the Map Markers pane.

Note: In Multimap Workspace, you can quickly apply a new marker list to the currently selected maps. Just select the maps, click Assign - Map Marker List, select the marker list in the organizer pane and click Apply.
