Customised map markers and saving maps

Post by dewilkinson » 10 Mar 2017 19:18

Having moved from TMG to FH last year I am in the process of geocoding all my places (as close as possible to the right spot) so I can make full advantage of the mapping facility as I use colour coded markers in maps to illustrate movement over time for a persons ancestry in my family books. I have been doing this manually using the free version of ARCGIS but I was hoping I could use the FH mapping facility instead, but I cannot answer my questions having searched the forum and knowledge base.

Is it possible to increase the range of markers by adding your own customised ones?

Is it possible to save a map (like you can with a diagram) where you have used a different marker set for each individual in a persons ancestry? The only option I can see is saving the map as a .jpeg and having to recreate the map again when you want it because things have been updated.

I think the answer to both questions is "No".

Thank you Mike, I thought that was the answer but worth asking just in case I had missed something.
