Request to add Icon Extension Modifiers from Extended Mode to International Mode

[TheNotRealGN]

As the title says, I think the ability to customize your icons in extended mode is a feature that I would use everytime I use map.army, sadly it is only in extended mode, so I think adding it to international mode would be really beneficial.

Thank you for your message and great to hear that you are using https://www.map.army.

We fully understand that the Icon Extension Modifier in the Extended Mode of the web application provides many possibilities to customize symbols. That is why we have added it :-)

However, in International Mode of the web application we do require to strictly follow the military standards for symbology to provide the basis for interoperability.

Please do not hesitate to contact us should you have further questions on https://www.map.army.

Kind regards
Martin from the map.army team

Is it possible then perhaps to have a 3rd mode, that combines both? Because the extended mode is very much optimized for the Swiss military (If I guessed correctly) I have no use for their graphics or symbols. There are also a lot of icons that is missing that is of NATO standard, like Amphibious infantry.

Thank you for your follow-up and for sharing your requirements regarding the combination of extended customization and international standards.

As mentioned in our previous reply, the International Mode on https://www.map.army is designed to strictly adhere to established military standards to ensure maximum interoperability. While the Extended Mode does offer the flexibility you are looking for, it is indeed currently optimized for the specific requirements of the Swiss Armed Forces.

For users and organizations that require a "third way"—namely the ability to use international standards while also having full control over symbol customization or adding missing NATO icons—we offer map.army pro.

The map.army pro version is a professional solution that provides many advanced features. Some of them are:

• On-Premise Deployment: It can be installed and run entirely on closed networks (offline), ensuring data sovereignty and security.

• Customization: It allows for the full customization of military symbology, including the addition of specific symbols or country-specific symbology not found in the standard public versions.
• …
• Project-Based: This version is tailored to specific organizational needs and is sold on a project basis.

If your organization is interested in a customized environment that combines the best of both worlds, please do not hesitate to contact us at m...@gs-soft.com. We would be happy to discuss how the pro version can meet your specific requirements.
