Body: <p>I currently use profiles to display our volunteers on a map in Civi, which is really useful. Counsellors and volunteers are different contact types, so show different icons, which is helpful. However, I would also like to display volunteers with different icons (or perhaps differently coloured icons), so that I can see where the nearest male volunteer or female volunteer is located. Any ideas how to do this?</p>

  I currently use profiles to display our volunteers on a map in Civi, which is really useful. Counsellors and volunteers are different contact types, so show different icons, which is helpful. However, I would also like to display volunteers with different icons (or perhaps differently coloured icons), so that I can see where the nearest male volunteer or female volunteer is located. Any ideas how to do this?
