Using the CSV Function

We've had a few questions about adding different icons to an Atlas map.

When you're adding points by hand or the search box, you can add new icons by changing the settings under "Edit Map Properties."

The same things works with the CSV function. That's how I created the map below.



First, I uploaded the red icons, using this basic csv file:

"215 Court St, Brooklyn, NY",Joya,Thai food with a DJ in Cobble Hill
"187 Atlantic Ave., Brooklyn, NY 11201",Sahadi's,Good Middle Eastern groceries
11201,Brooklyn,Brooklyn Heights
Brooklyn

Once those points were on the map, I switched the settings to green icons, and added this csv file:

"138 Bergen St.,Brooklyn, NY",Brooklyn Inn
"79 Hoyt St, Brooklyn, NY 11201",Kili

For another example that uses multiple icon-types, check out Baristanet's map of teardowns in Montclair, NJ.

One word of warning: If you start deleting and re-uploading points via the csv function, you may find funky overlapping icons. This is a bug, and it's on our list.
