Customize map marker colors
*What does it do?*
This feature would allow users to change the styling of map markers. This would allow the pins to be different colors so that GMs can mark different areas based on the type of location being marked. For instance:
* Blue for cities
* Yellow for the party's current location
* Green for quest destinations
* Red for the party's current quest destination
* White for historical landmarks
* Gray for geographic labels
*What does it look like?*
After placing a map marker, you can already click it to bring up a balloon containing details. Currently, this balloon only contains a link to the corresponding wiki page and a "delete" icon. You could add an "edit" icon in this balloon which brings up a separate dialog for editing the style of that marker.
This dialog could later allow changing other properties of the marker, such as the shape of the pin or its icon.

In case the devs. decide to implement this, I think it could be a good idea to add a side bar to the right of a map you are currently seing, explaining which icon represents what (I don't know how it is called, a "reference" or "leyend").
