I try to create many markers in map with icon is a png image like placeholder. After that i want to set an other image inside of each placeholder.

It looks like this. My problem is how to set image inside image of marker. How to do that?


Solution

  • You would need to write code which takes the background image (eg the frame) and adds on the sub-image (eg the food picture), to create a combined UIImage. Then you could use the combined UIImage as the marker's icon.
