How many visitors is a single platial map limited to?
How can I make a platial map similar to the frapper quest map as far as only basic markers offered instead a a large choice of icons?

Inappropriate?Hi Julia,
There is no 'hard' limit on the number of markers which can be placed on a map, but we do start treating the markers differently when there are more than 300 markers on it. Maps with > 300 get 'clustered' markers.
Re: simpler options while adding markers
Maps can be assigned 'custom categories' by the map owner (in the map edit ~ advanced options panel), you can assign up to 3 marker types for the map, with your own legend. These will be the only markers available to people adding markers to the map.
Another option would be to publish the map as a flash map (instead of a normal javascript), this type of map has a very simply input interface.
Let me know if you need any more help.

Inappropriate?actually, hold off on the custom category path till i can confirm one thing first (want to make sure a specific bug has been fixed in that section)

Inappropriate?Thanks so much Jason. I'll check back. I will be using this as a guest map, not a places map. Is it possible to change the fill in form to list just "user name" and "city" and "state? Also, I tried adding in the make your own places and it worked except it still shows options for the other markers. Can I make it so the guests ONLY are offered the ones I added? Thanks, Julia -
Inappropriate?ok, Julia, sounds like the bug is fixed with custom categories (if you have trouble editing the map's details in the future, let us know).
Now on to the topic you raise about hiding all the other categories. When you are adding to a custom category map, you are forced to choose one of the limited icon choices for the "marker icon" (the icon that shows up on the map), but we still offer the "additional categories" so that the content added to this map can be categorized properly in search results throughout the site.
The additional categories won't alter the marker on your map.
If you haven't gone to far with this particular map, you might consider creating a "frappr guest map" instead of an "all purpose map". You will find that option in the "make a map" drop down in the site's main navigation.

Inappropriate?I can't change categories now after adding a custom icon. Please advise.
