Talk:Map pin
From Geohashing

This will need a lot more work. Like a gallery showing some 'red drop' signs? Or the other signs? And then the two types of icon. -Arlo James Barnes (N35, W105) 05:52, 31 March 2011 (EDT)
I like the discussion of the topic, and especially the open source icon idea. The drawback of that one is - I think quite obviously - that it does not point at anything. It is a rounded square, with a pin and a bit of a globe. And yeah, that page would need to be a bit more verbose. A gallery would be nice. And I'll just be so free as to move it according to the Naming conventions. ;) -- relet 09:45, 31 March 2011 (EDT)
- Quoth http://www.geotagicons.com/usage-examples.html#misuse: "The idea is that the Geotag Icon should be directly linked to, or visually associated with, the actual geotagged document (blog post, photo, XML file, etc.) Thus it is not generally intended for use as a marker icon on a map (unless linked directly to a geotagged profile, but not IP address location, for example), or as a generic "location" icon (e.g. travel blog post category, holiday photo album, "You are here", etc.)" - it does not seem to be meant to be used as a marker in the first place. -- relet 09:50, 31 March 2011 (EDT)
geotagging?
The domain "geotagicons.com" is no longer in service. Can this page be updated? -- Jevanyn (talk) 16:43, 7 January 2014 (EST)
