About the project

Free icons for Google Maps or Google Earth

Map Icons Collection is a set of more than 1000 free icons to use as placemarks for your POI (Point of Interests) locations on your maps. You can use them on Google Maps with the “My maps / my places” feature, automatically by using the Google Maps API or with WordPress mapping plugins like Maps Marker Pro.

Categories

Organized into logical color coded categories, for better and quicker overview, you get a complete and diverse collection of unique markers for point of interests, for example cinemas, hotels, banks, restaurants and stores.
