You can add your own custom icons and save them to your CalTopo account, more information can be found here in the user guide: Custom Icons.
I hope this helps!

The only issue with this is shared maps. Currently person to person, these icons (to my experience) are not shared the same but defaulted to a generic icon. I have not had the opportunity to test this under Teams accounts.
Good question! It would not carry over to a mutual aid incident, although anyone on the main team account would be able to create the map with the saved team icons.
Other departments added for the mutual aid incident would be able to see your custom icons, but not add them during the incident.
Hi Rachel what is the correct way to share a custom hosted library of symbology like you have with google? I think im going to either do this myself or have NAPSG do this and perhaps the TAK product center for their icons.
just realized this is not a library but a url for each symbol. May I suggest a way to upload a symbol set via zip file rather than one by one if I cant map a whole symbol set by URL?

You can save custom Icons to a team account, and each person on that team will have access to the custom icon.
Without a teams account, each person will need to upload their own custom icons.
Do Team Account Icons carry over to mutual aid units when shared? And thank you for the response!
