Make your community map match your brand. Choose map styles, customize marker colors, add a cover image, and set the default view visitors see when they first arrive.

  1. Go to your community

    Navigate to the community you want to customize. You need to be the owner or a moderator to change design settings.

  3. Choose a map style

    Select from available map styles or basemaps. Different styles work better for different types of communities:

    • Standard: Clean, general-purpose map style
    • Satellite: Aerial imagery, great for outdoor areas
    • Terrain: Emphasizes topography, ideal for hiking/nature
    • Custom: Work with our team for a branded basemap

  4. Customize marker colors

    Choose colors for your place markers. You can set different colors for different categories to make your map more organized and visually appealing.

    Tip:

    Use your brand colors for a cohesive look that matches your organization's identity.

  5. Update cover image

    Upload a cover photo that represents your community. This appears at the top of your community page and in listings.

    Configure the initial map view that visitors see when they first load your community:

    • Center point: The location the map centers on
    • Zoom level: How zoomed in or out the initial view is
