You can acces uMap administration page by navigating to https://your.server.org/admin

You will have to connect with the admin account create during installation. Default admin username is umap.

Pictograms

Pictograms are icon that can be used in your map markers.

Pictograms are not embedded in uMap sources, you will have to add them manually. So you can choose which pictograms you want to use.

Example of pictograms libraries you may want to use:

• Maki Icons (icon set made for map designers)
• Osmic Icons
• SJJB Icons

Import pictograms

To import pictograms on your uMap server, you will need to use command umap import_pictograms

Note, you can get help with umap import_pictograms -h

In this example, we are gonna import Maki Icons.

First, we download icons from main site. Inside the downloaded archive, we keep only the icons folder that contains svg files. Place this folder on your server.

Go inside icons folder and remove tiny icons: rm *-11.svg

Now, we will use imagemagick to convert svg to png.

for file in *.svg; do convert -background none $file ${file%15.svg}24.png; done

To have white icons use: for file in *.svg; do convert -background none -fuzz 100% -fill white -opaque black $file ${file%15.svg}24.png; done

Notes:

• you may also want to resize image with option -resize 24x
• this solution is not optimal, generated png are blurry.

This will convert the svg to png and rename them from *-15.svg to *-24.png

Now we will import pictograms. Note pictograms names must ends with -24.png

umap import_pictograms --attribution "Maki Icons by Mapbox" icons

Done. Icons are imported.
