How to create invisible map markers

Available to the Master subscription tier and above. Upgrade here.

 

You can use invisible markers if you want a point in your map to be clickable but not visible. This can be really useful to avoid overcrowding your map with visible markers or to hide secrets in plain sight.

 
  1. Open a map and create a pin marker as usual.
  2. When choosing a pin, type "invisible". The invisible marker is not visible in the list, but you can click on what would be the first space in the grid.
  3. Follow the rest of the steps as usual.
 

When the marker is created, you won't be able to see it, but if you click on its location, you'll see the usual pin pop-over appear. If you forget where the marker is, you can edit and delete it from the "Markers" tab of the map.

 

You can also invisible markers with polygons. Just create them as usual and set the opacity to 0.
