<a id="c316"></a>The map just the way you like it: new map settings
--------------------------------------------------

Until now, you could only see your finds, notes and layers on the map in one fixed look that was the same for everyone? Not any more. **A new gear icon directly on the map lets you decide yourself how your markers are displayed.**

For finds, notes and layers you can choose their own **sizes, shapes and borders** – and decide whether a category icon is shown inside the marker. For finds you can also choose what the colour is based on, for example age, time of find or conductivity. A new legend shows you right away what each colour means.

You can also set how strongly markers close to each other are grouped into clusters. **All changes are saved automatically and apply across all your devices** – one click on “Reset map settings” brings back the default view at any time.

New map layer: listed monuments in Austria (Pro)
------------------------------------------------

Everyone with **Pinlog Pro** gets a new layer: “Listed monuments in Austria”. It shows you listed heritage objects directly on your map – subtly displayed in dark red and automatically grouped into clusters where they are dense, so the map stays clear.

<a id="c320"></a>### Further improvements

- **More consistent panels:** menus and settings panels on the map (layers, map settings, selection lists) now open consistently and noticeably more smoothly – on desktop and on mobile.
- **Easier to use on mobile:** the drag handle of the panels now has more space to the top edge and is easier to grab.
- **No more scrollbar in the layer menu:** long layer descriptions and source credits now wrap cleanly instead of creating a horizontal scrollbar.
- **Faster loading times:** pages load noticeably faster
