Icons

Icons are useful for preparing maps and plans.

Some icons are free and some can be bought.

Some icons are 2D and others are 3D.

Some icons are B/W while others are two tone or multi-coloured.

Some icons are outlines and some are filled icons.

Some icons have shadows.

Vector icons can be re-sized and do not lose their resolution.

Non vector icons lose their resolution and become pixelated when enlarged or when projected for large screen.

Some icons allow editing but most will not look nice after editing.

Common icons are location icons, house icons, transportation icons, communication icons, etc.

Most free icons require a back link to the website where they were downloaded, hosted or displayed.

Some icon owners allow first 5 icons free and then require a payment for further downloads

Even though there are a lot of icons on the Internet, it is worthwhile to learn how to create icons, and then create your own set of icons. When you have your own icons, you are not bound by requirements made by others or terms set by others.

Learn and then create your own icons.
