Make your mark: Customizing map icons with TomTom Map Maker
)
At TomTom, we empower developers and designers to craft unique map experiences that support the navigation goals of drivers. With TomTom Map Maker, you can change the visual appearance of the Orbis map style to fit your design vision—from foundation colors and modules to the nitty-gritty details in layers. And now, with the latest Map Maker update, custom map icons are at your fingertips.
Map icons and markers are so much more than mere aesthetic elements; they’re components of a visual language. They give meaning and help people understand, navigate, and explore the world.
Icon customization in Map Maker allows you to replace the standard map icons and markers with your own custom set. With the downloadable Figma file, you can easily change the entire TomTom icon set, using your favorite design tool.
Choose from five TomTom icon sets
Transform the entire visual theme of the map assets by choosing from five distinct TomTom icon sets, each designed to cater to a specific style and mode. For navigation use cases, you can choose the street dark or street light sets. For a minimalist view, go with mono dark or mono light, or choose the satellite set. Apply the set of your choice and give your map a cohesive look.
Create with Figma
Streamline your design process with the power of Figma, enabling you to swiftly design custom icons to your exact specifications. Adjust sizes, tweak colors for brand consistency, or reshape icons to fit your creative vision—all with the familiar interface of your favorite design tool, Figma.
Bring your icons to life
Use unique icons on the map by uploading your custom icon set to replace the default set. You can also upload custom icons in the My Icons folder to use them as patterns at the layer level and bring your design vision truly to life.
