Custom Icons
You can also use your own SVG icon to style Point features in your map. In **Layer settings** open the *icon* dropdown, and click the **Add custom icon** button. For best results, your SVG icon should be monochrome and have limited details.
Dynamic styling in **Elastic Maps** requires rendering SVG icons as PNGs using a https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signed_distance_function[signed distance function]. As a result, sharp corners and intricate details may not render correctly. Modifying the settings under **Advanced Options** in the **Add custom icon** modal may improve rendering.
Manage your custom icons in <<maps-settings, Map settings>>.
