Given that Folium builds on the Leaflet JS library, I was wondering if it could provide the same functionality as Leaflet for custom icon markers.
Scanning through the tutorial here, I'm somewhat doubtful that this is possible, but I thought I would ask here to confirm. It looks as if the marker icons are limited to those provided on Bootstrap.
map_1 = folium.Map(location=[45.372, -121.6972], zoom_start=12,tiles='Stamen Terrain')
map_1.simple_marker([45.3300, -121.6823], popup='Some Other Location',marker_color='red',marker_icon='info-sign')
map_1.create_map(path='iconTest.html')
If this is not supported, is anyone familiar with another Python mapping framework that would support the use of markers with custom icons?
