Name and Description

You can then enter the location name and description.

Icon

You will also be asked to choose an icon for the location from a catalog. If you specify a category, the icon will default to the icon named for the category. If you specify a category and also choose a specific icon for the location, the icon displayed will be the one you specify. You can also upload your own icon from a computer.

Media Files

When adding an image/video, you can select a media file from your computer.

Map Location

To mark a location on the map, click on the part of the map you want to mark. Once you add a location, you cannot add another location to this map. To change the location of the marker, you can simply drag it to a different part of the map. To add another location, you will need to repeat the process documented here on a new location.

When adding a location, you can also edit the latitude/longitude, address, and postal code to specify a location. The "Marker Alt" is an alt attribute applied to the icon - if the icon fails to load, it will be displayed instead.

This information will be automatically prompted once picking the location on the map but it is possible to change it later
