Through the Visualization you can adjust the color of the icon of a POI. This can be useful when you want to make one or more POIs stand out. It's also a way to extend your branding to the POIs you offer.
Where can you customize the visualization?

- Go to the detail page of the POI you wish to customize.
- Go to Visualization

If you modify the visualization of a sight or POI then this alternative view will be visible:
- in the RouteViewer, with every route that this POI is linked to. So with your own route(s) as well as with those of others.

- on your own website if you use MapSearch.
The effect is not visible in the general POI search module.
