Add Text to GeoMarker

Question

I have been going through the documentation of GeoMarker.

But I do not see any way to add text to these GeoMarkers. I would like to number them, is there anyway to do this?

Answer 1

If you want to add a custom value to your GeoMarker you can do as follows:

cities = {Entity["City", {"Rome", "Lazio", "Italy"}], 
   Entity["City", {"Padova", "Veneto", "Italy"}], 
   Entity["City", {"Palermo", "Sicily", "Italy"}]};  

 GeoGraphics[{GeoStyling["OutlineMap"], Polygon[Entity["Country", "Italy"]], 
 MapThread[{GeoMarker[#1], White, 
 Text[Style[#2, Bold], #1, {0, -2.5}]} &, {cities, {"10", "45", 
 "120"}}]}]

Answer 2

You can use Text and its third argument to place the label in the correct position.

cities = {Entity["City", {"Rome", "Lazio", "Italy"}], 
   Entity["City", {"Padova", "Veneto", "Italy"}], 
   Entity["City", {"Palermo", "Sicily", "Italy"}]};

GeoGraphics[{GeoStyling["OutlineMap"], 
  Polygon[Entity["Country", "Italy"]], 
  MapIndexed[{GeoMarker[#1], White, Text[Style[First[#2], Bold], #1, {0, -2.5}]} &, cities]}]
