How to change POI icons in Skobbler

Question

Is it possible to change the map POI icons with a custom image or logo? I tried from StyleEditor, but i could change only the color of the selected POI.

Answer 1

You can change the color and texture of that selected POI category

e.g: in the StyleEditor, select "restaurant” from the map and change its color to red->all restaurant POIs will be red.

Each POI has a unique texture ID associated to it (found in the "TexID" text box) e.g: out-of-the box the restaurant POI has texture id 1020 associated to it

Changing the ID to another texture ID: insert the new ID (see Features window at zoom levels 17-18) in the "TexID" text box (make sure that you choose "All Levels" before making the change so that the texture changes is applied at all zoom levels).

To add a new a new texture: first, make sure the image you want to add is in PNG format, colour space RGB, and the image resolution is 512x512 px.

• copy the image in StyleEditor/MapResources/Common folder or in the Style's folder (e.g: StyleEditor/DayStyle folder if you are modifying the Daystyle)
• add the texture in the StyleEditor from the Dialogs menu -> “Add Textures” option
• browse for the desired image, in the "Add Textures" dialog box, by pressing the + button
• give it an ID (make sure its unique) by entering it in the TextureID input box
• click Add & OK buttons to finish adding up the new texture

Make sure to save your style
