Tell us what you are trying to do?
I have this mostly setup, but there seem to be a few bugs. One is that if I use a custom marker (it's a jpeg image), the marker shows up WAY too big.
The other bug is that the map size is not the right size. It seems to be stuck at 250px instead of 400px. This may be because I built the page with Elementor? I was able to solve this with some CSS, but it seems like a bug that the size isn't working from Toolset.
What is the link to your site?

We recommend using transparent PNG or GIF format so the map is visible underneath the marker icon. We also recommend using icons which have dimensions of 32 by 32 pixels. While the marker icons are not resized during the upload process they are scaled to 32 by 32 pixels when displayed on the map.

But that's not what's happening, as I see now.
If we upload a greater than specified Icon (not ideal, but also not disallowed, according to the Doc), the GUI will show it properly resized but the front end will show a width: 300px; height: 152px; sized marker.
It should resize to 32x32
We've had issues with this in past, I'll report it. Meanwhile, you should be able to pre-create the icons with the suggested size and use those.
That's better anyway, it will save a bit of loading time
The image was sized at 40px, I resized it to 32px as you recommended.
I wondered if it had to do with Smush optimizing the image, but when I tried un-optimizing the image it didn't work either. Here is a link of what the map looks like when I use the custom image:

And here is my code:
[wpv-map-render map_id="map-1" height="400px" marker_icon="//ironcountygop.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/ironcountygoplogo-tiny.png" background_color="#061838" cluster="on"][/wpv-map-render]
Yes, as I mentioned, I can replicate the issue.
I meanwhile already escalated this to the 2nd tier who will pass it to the developers.
Currently, you'll have to use already resized images/icons
Oh you mean use the default icons, I can do that for now, thanks.
No, I mean to create icons that are properly sized according to the Google Maps guidelines, that is 32x32 pixel.
Maps DOC says that Toolset Maps scales them for us, but this is not what's happening, so we need to upload already properly scaled custom markers.
Does that make sense?
Once the Developers will look at this, we will either fix the issue in the plugin or maybe it turns out the DOC is wrong, which then would mean we will update the doc.
Thanks!
OK so debugging this I can see that we do only rescale SVG images on the front end.
All others are not rescaled.
You'd need to upload 32x32 images OR SVG files in any size.
I've asked to update the Documentation so this is clear.
Please let me know if there are further issues I can help with
My issue is resolved now. Thank you for clarification!
