Numbers in map marker in Folium

[shubham039]

i want to display some geo locations on map, but i want the map-pin icon to display numbers instead of the default map pin.
Is there any way to do that?

I checked in font awesome icons but it didn't work.

Below is my code:

import folium
m = folium.Map(
    location=[45.3288, -121.6625],
    zoom_start=12,
    #tiles='Mapbox Bright'
)

folium.Marker([45.3288, -121.6625], popup='<i>Mt. Hood Meadows</i>').add_to(m)
folium.Marker([45.3311, -121.7113], popup='<b>Timberline Lodge</b>',icon=folium.Icon(color='red')).add_to(m)
m

What i want is instead of this default map marker i want to include numbers in my marker instead of info-sign

Something like this:

i couldn't find the answer anywhere. Any leads on this?

display number 1 to 9 inside map marker pin

I don't think any of the markers we have can do that, You'll probably need https://github.com/coryasilva/Leaflet.ExtraMarkers or https://github.com/marslan390/BeautifyMarker

Do you want to send a PR to add them?

@ocefpaf It would be useful if added

@ocefpaf
IN folium.Marker there is an attribute called icon, with properties
icon=folium.Icon(color='red',icon='thumbs-up')

There are many other icons available, apart from thumbs up, default being 'info-sign' , is there any icon in Font Awesome website which can display number in my map pin ?

@ocefpaf Hello Sir, any update on feature request?

[ocefpaf]

@shubham039 folium is developed by people of their spare time from the day job. So no updates and no one will work on this anytime soon, unless you are willing to send a PR 😉

@ocefpaf Ohh! Okay Sir, i'll wait.
I have actually found a work around on this.

m = folium.Map( location=[45.3288, -121.6625], zoom_start=12, #tiles='Mapbox Bright' )
icon_url = url_of_a_map_pin.png
icon = folium.features.CustomIcon(icon_url,icon_size=(24, 24))

folium.Marker(location=[45.3288, -121.6625],icon=icon).add_to(m)

Is there a way where instead of taking icon from URL i can take the .png file saved in my directory?

By the way, how do I send a PR ?

Yep. Custom icons are always an option.
