I want to use Kibana to map health of materials in a certain area and I want to use icons to help me visualize what every material is . Further, I want the color of the icons to change based on some condition ( example, blue when the material is healthy and red when it is deteriorating, etc).  
So, my questions:  
-can I show individual points on a map? Kibana is showing me one big blob rather than every point. I increased the zoom level following [http://kaeff.net/posts/increasing-map-zoom-level-in-kibana.html](http://kaeff.net/posts/increasing-map-zoom-level-in-kibana.html) but that did not fix my problem.

-can I use different icons to represent the various materials (see figure I created with R shiny)?  
-can I change the color of each icon based on some condition?

@Fish

Kibana's maps, and all visualizations, operate on aggregate data, and it's not presently possible to plot individual data points. [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/4234](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/4234) seems very similar to what you're requesting, if you wouldn't mind commenting on that issue with your use-case, it'll help us prioritize the feature and ensure it meets your needs.
