Is it possible to customize the color of map pins on Places widgets? We’d like to be able to show different types of blurbs in different colors on a map, but I haven’t seen a way to do it.

Hi Jon,
Thanks for writing – the Google Maps API does permit this, but it’s not something that was ever built into the LiveWhale Places widget that uses that API to construct maps. I think that means the short answer is: it’s not available out of the box, but could be managed as a custom build that would plug into or replace some of the core places.js to manage it. Let us know if you’d like to discuss further; thanks!
EDIT: A bit of extra context! It seems like the “yes, Google Maps API lets you customize colors of map pins” documentation I was finding is for a newer version of the maps API than we’re currently integrating with. We’ll keep this request as a note for when we do update the Places widget to use the newer API though.
