Marker Title always visible on the map (not as popup-infobox)

MIT App Inventor Help

I have a list of about 40 markers on a map and they are named 3 , 5 , 50 , 60, 65, 90 etc. (designer mode)
The markers Description and Title are also set to 3, 5, 50, 60, 65 , 90 etc (title set to visible)

I would like the have the Title (or else the Description) always visible next to the markers. (not as infobox)
How should I do that?

You cannot have the description like that on the map itself Ceebee. The tool cannot work like that. Instead post that information in a Label outside of the Map.

Another option is to use ImageAsset images to replace the red marker pins with a small image where each image is a small image of the values3, 5, 50, 60, 65 , 90 etc to identify the marker. You will need 40 images or so as your app now stands. That way you can ALWAYS see the marker identification. :disappointed_relieved:

something like this

You can do these things with the map components >

Hello Steve,
thanks for the reply.

A label outside the map? Or did you mean a label outside the marker?
I saw the required function on an map app. (maybe not MIT?)

Outside the map. The alternative is to use a custom marker using ImageAsset and placing the 'number ID' of the marker as the image of the marker. Example image for an ImageAsset

Probably NOT MIT app inventor. Something like that might be possible with a Google Map API. This is what is in Google's api Ringkasan penanda  |  Maps JavaScript API  |  Google for Developers

Perhaps another developer has a better solution. Wait and see who else posts.
