This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem: I have a map with markers coming from a View. Each post displayed in the View will have one term assigned from a custom taxonomy. Depending on the assigned term, I would like to display a different marker icon on the map.
Solution: To use custom icons like this based on a taxonomy term, you cannot create the Markers using the configurations available in the Map block. Those Map block side configurations only allow for one icon to be used for all markers. Instead, you'll need to remove all Marker configurations from the Map block and insert a series of conditionals and Marker shortcodes in the View loop block. In a simple scenario there would be one conditional section for each different Marker icon. Here is a simple conditional section you can use as a template:
<!-- day-service icon -->
[wpv-conditional if="(has_term('day-service', 'service-type', null) eq '1')"]
[wpv-map-marker map_id="map-18" marker_icon="day-service-icon.svg" marker_id='marker-18-[wpv-post-id]' marker_field="wpcf-address"]
[wpv-post-link]
[/wpv-map-marker]
[/wpv-conditional]
<!-- other-service icon -->
[wpv-conditional if="(has_term('other-service', 'service-type', null) eq '1')"]
[wpv-map-marker map_id="map-18" marker_icon="other-service-icon.svg" marker_id='marker-18-[wpv-post-id]' marker_field="wpcf-address"]
[wpv-post-link]
[/wpv-map-marker]
[/wpv-conditional]
<!--additional conditional section for each icons should follow here -->
Since this code uses the WordPress function has_term in a conditional clause, you must register has_term in Toolset > Settings > Front-end Content, in Functions inside conditional evaluations.

Hi Christian
Thank you so much for trying to help me - I'm so sorry but I just can't get it to work - ( its me, not you 🙂 )
In order to not mess up what I already have - I built a quichk and dirty new page - using the block editor ( i'm using divi theme so not using the divi builder ) - its not a great page but it should work for proof of concept ..
It uses the same data sets ( custom fields and posts ) as the main page
he Ajax filter returns correct results in the view loop . but nothing on the map
hidden link
I've added a loop, a search and a toolset map block ( no markers ) ( map-18)
I placed the following code into the view loop ( see images )
[wpv-conditional if="(has_term('service-type', 'adults', null) eq '1')"]
[wpv-map-marker map_id="map-18" marker_icon="hidden link" marker_id='marker-[wpv-post-id]' marker_field="address" marker_title=" "]
[wpv-post-link]
[/wpv-map-marker]
[/wpv-conditional]
I've show a pic of the page structure - where the code is etc (set up.jpg )
I'm really sorry - I'm very new to this and I'm sure I'm missing something incredibly basic
Any help would be hugely appreciated
**I do get what you are saying about the conditional logic being complicated - but each of the centres MUST be one of the 4 service types so it should display all of them - but each service type should be a different colour ( in this cased defined by different coloured SVG files.
