Your First Marker

[!abstract] What You'll Learn Add a location to the map, fill in details, upload photos, and view your marker.

Step 1: Open the Map

Go to the Map page (see Getting Started for Hub navigation).

[!tip] Finding yourself Use the location search bar at the top of the map to find a specific place by name.

Step 2: Create a New Marker

There are two ways to start:

Click on the Map

  1. Click any location on the map. A marker creation form opens.
  1. Type a location name in the search bar.
  2. Click the add-location icon next to the result.
  3. The form opens with the coordinates pre-filled.

Step 3: Fill In the Details

Field Required
Title Yes (max 50 characters)
Date Yes (defaults to today)
Rating Yes (1–5 stars)
Description No (rich text, max 10,000 characters)

[!tip] Rich text descriptions Use the built-in editor to add bold text, lists, or headings to your description.

Step 4: Add Photos

  1. Click the image upload area in the form.
  2. Select one or more photos from your device.
  3. Photos are compressed and uploaded directly to storage — see File Storage for the full flow.
  4. Drag thumbnails to reorder images.

[!note] Image limits You can add up to 5 images per marker.

Step 5: Save Your Marker

Submit the form. The marker appears on the map as a unicorn icon and the detail modal opens automatically.

Step 6: View Your Marker

Click any marker to open its detail modal (title, date, rating, description, image carousel, and action buttons). Markers also appear in the sidebar — a scrollable list sorted by date.
