Available Icons

The Milkymap platform offers a library of 700 icons users can choose from. They range from more general icons like arrows, to specific icons like logos of organisations, such as YouTube, Twitter, or Google.

A Star Icon can be used to signify a ‘Moment of Truth’ in a journey for example

An admin can not change the available icons in the Icon Library, all 700 icons are identical for all users.
