Ok, I get it. I can photo shop a marker and make it smaller. I am not sure what happens to a round icon to make it smaller but that is not the real issue. How can I make all the other controls like zoom smaller too. I appears that once you make the total size of the map less than about 300~400 px square the markers, icons, popup boxes, controls and map style control box to big to fit on small map profile. Why isnt there a zoom feature that sets all these item with one code command. This business of having to manipulate each item to set its size is complex and for me a novice, impossible.
