Import markers with different point colors

[JoseIber]

Hello community. I have a question. Is it possible to import a KML with points with different colors based on a label? They can be edited once imported, but I would like to import it with that color data and not have to edit them one by one. Could it be? Thank you so much

@JoseIber now color for points should be specified in kml/gpx to be imported in OrganicMaps. You can set color manually with GoogleEarth before import or enrich color values using some script to parse/modify your kml.

Hello cyber-toad. Thank you very much for your answer. The truth is that I have tried it in many ways, I have edited different scripts, but they don't work for me, they always come out red. I would like it to assign the color based on the value of the "routes" tag, but it seems that is not possible. This is part of my script:

icon_dict = {
"Otra": 'placemark-bluegray',
"Realizadas": 'placemark-pink',
"Albert": 'placemark-gray',
"Jose": 'placemark-yellow',
"Ruth": 'placemark-blue',
"Marta": 'placemark-green',
"Pendientes": 'placemark-orange',
"Interesantes": 'placemark-purple',
"Por valorar": 'placemark-red',
"No hacer": 'placemark-lima'
}

Crear estilos para cada ícono

styles = {}
for stage, icon in icon_dict.items():
style = simplekml.Style()
style.iconstyle.icon.href = f'https://omaps.app/placemarks/{icon}.png'
style.iconstyle.scale = 1.0
styles[stage] = style

@JoseIber if you share your kml file I can try to check why colors are not applied.

Sure, thank you very much. Here I show you an example file.

I use following styling and it works

<Placemark>
    <name>Poczta Polska</name>
    <styleUrl>#placemark-gray</styleUrl>
    <Point><coordinates>19.578827,50.2691</coordinates></Point>
  </Placemark>

Not sure why you do

  <IconStyle>
    <Icon>
      <href>https://omaps.app/placemarks/placemark-bluegray.png</href>
    </Icon>
  </IconStyle>

is something like that documented as supported?

[cyber-toad]

Yep, I also see that IconStyle is saved here kml::SaveStyle but don't see how it is parsed, so @matkoniecz example with styleUrl looks valid.

Thank you so much. I followed your instructions and it worked. Thanks for helping 🙌
