Hi Sergey,

I just need to be able to render custom markers in a google map, in a module at the top of a "Companies" list (Multiple records in a company)

The client also wants to have different Markers based on 3 different options selected in the same company record..

I would like to know if this is already available in a module, and if not what would be the best practice way of achieving it in a custom module

Thanks,

Pete

Pete,

you can accomplish this already, even without using a module.

Create a folder under /components/com_cobalt/fields/geo/markers/ and copy your custom markers there.
In your Geo field, under the "Google Map Input" section select your folder in the "Icons set source folder". Once selected, your customized icons should display there ...

Go to your "Companies" section and select the map template as your list template.
In the map list template, select your "Companies" list template under the "List Elements" section and set the parameters accordingly.
