Creating custom category markers

When any listing is displayed on the map, it is shows as a pin. This pin icon is as in the default template. To modify this pin icon as per your category, marker image needs to be placed under module images directory:

modules/mod_jomestate_maps/images/markers/...
The file name should be same as the category. The spaces need to be replaced with dashes " - " and the "marker" prefix. So, suppose category name is For Sale, then the file name for the marker should be marker_for-sale.png.
