Choose color (+symbol) for all waypoints in a set

[Shohreh]

Hello,

Although I suggested this features years ago to the Maps.me team, it was never implemented.

It'd be useful to be able to set the color of a group of bookmarks in one go. It'd be even better if users could also choose a symbol instead of just a color.

When I travel, I create different sets (housing, sights, restaurants, etc.), each in a different color so as to be able to show/hide each one independently.

Since Maps.me doesn't support setting the color once at the top level, I had to write a script to add an element to each waypoint, eg. <styleUrl>#placemark-yellow</styleUrl>.

Cheers,

That is a good idea. Implementing it is only the question of time and our limited resources. With the help of the community it may be faster.

Incidently, through styling, is it possible to set the color for all bookmarks in a given KML file, instead of adding it to each and every waypoint?

<Placemark><styleUrl>#placemark-yellow</styleUrl>

That would be simpler.

Edit: OM/Maps.me doesn't seem to support it: The waypoint is still displayed in the default red, although I chose yellow (ff00ffff):
