Save custom marker icons to your account
I like the feature that allows you to use a custom icon for your waypoints by entering a URL containing the icon. However, this is pretty cumbersome, as you must re-enter the URL each time you want to use each icon. Sometimes it can be difficult to find again the correct URL if its something you have taken off the internet. It would be awesome if you could have a little personal library of custom icons, even if it was just the last 10 or 20 icons that you had used. The ability to add icons from an image file instead of just a URL would be great as well. Thanks.

Hey Will,
Pro and higher subscribers can add custom icons to their account via the 'Your Data' dialog, by image file. Icons added in the Your Data dialog will then show up in the marker creation dialog under a 'Your Icons' heading. (A refresh of the page may be required between adding the icon and seeing it in the marker dialog).
Here's our documentation on that.
Enjoy!

Thanks for your reply Zach, that's exactly what I was hoping for.
This is one of my favorite features and when I found you can have custom icons, it was one reason why I paid for a subscription! We need a public repository of user-created icons for people to share :) Here's some I have on github - if anyone else wants to share theirs :)
