Text for markers in a map

[SinanMaric]

Hi!

I have a map with several markers. I want to display a text for each marker at all times. Right now I only know how to show the text “on hover” because I use tooltip.

I cannot find any simple solutions for showing text for each marker at all time. Do you have any simple solutions?

On hover

Not hover

Current settings in Appfarm Create

@rhys @kristian @Shahitha do you know how to solve this?

Hi!

Thank you for posting to the community, and apologies for the delayed response.

Unfortunately it doesn’t seem like we have any in-built ways to show a marker label at all times, we only have the tooltip or popup text functionality shown in the screenshot.

This has been submitted as a new feature request internally.

Thanks
Rhys

Perhaps not the prettiest way to do it, but it works. You can use a service like https://placehold.co to generate images on the fly. These can in turn be loaded into runtime file objects and used on the map. Remember to allow https://placehold.co under Environments → Web Request Targets

Just an idea. There might even be a way to create these images on the fly in Appfarm?

Cool, @lbj ! I will check this out, thank you

Hi! The option to make tooltips on map markers permanent has been introduced in Release 112.
