Stylize the display of categories on the map

From Wemap Pro, you can modify the display style of categories to make your objects more visual on the map.


🖥️ Access the category modification page

  1. Go to your map
  2. Verify that the venue and the POI list are properly associated with it: if not, associate them
  3. Go to the "Formatting" menu, then "Category Display"
  4. Click on "Modify category display"

Your different categories are displayed:


🎨 Configure the category display style

📌 Please note:

Settings can be configured for 3 types of actions, similarly or differently:

    • Default: display style applied by default, without performing any action
    • Selected: display style applied when clicking on a POI
    • Highlighted: display style applied when searching for the POI

Edit display by category

  1. Click on the pencil icon of the category you want to style: a customization popup appears allowing you to configure the elements
  2. Enable or disable:
    • Shape display
    • Label display
  1. Customize the different sections:

    • Shape type:

      👉 These settings apply to the associated category icon that displays on the map.

      • Shape type: pin (round with downward point), round (circle), square
      • Shape color: color and opacity
      • Shape size: manual adjustment

    • Label:

      👉 These settings apply to the associated category name that displays on the map.

      • Label font: select one of the fonts offered in the dropdown list
      • Label color: color and opacity
      • Label size: manual adjustment

    • Polygon color:

      👉 These settings apply to the polygon associated with the category that displays on the map (the polygon takes the settings of the category associated with it).

      • Polygon color: color and opacity
      • Polygon outline color: color and opacity
      • Polygon outline thickness: manual adjustment

    • Visibility:

      👉 These settings apply to all the previous elements that display on the map.

      • Minimum zoom
      • Maximum zoom

  1. Click on "Save"

👉 Here is an example of rendering on the livemap if you change the polygon color for "Selected" (orange) and "Highlighted" (blue):

💡 Tip:

If you want to adopt the same style settings for different categories:

  • Click on the "Copy style" icon of the already configured category
  • Access the new category concerned by clicking on the pencil icon
  • Click on the "Paste style" icon


Edit default display (template)

If you edit a default display, it will be applied to categories for which you have not defined a display.

  1. Click on "Edit"
  2. Select the action type (default, selected, highlighted)
  3. Follow the same procedure presented above


You can then apply a template in bulk to multiple categories.
