• 3. Now use the plugin to create a marker like this:

  // Creates a red marker with the coffee icon
  var redMarker = L.VectorMarkers.icon({
    icon: 'coffee',
    markerColor: 'red'
  });
      
  L.marker([48.15491,11.54183], {icon: redMarker}).addTo(map);

Or for Maki icons

  // Creates a red marker with the bus icon
  var redMarker = L.VectorMarkers.icon({
    icon: 'bus',
    prefix: '',
    extraClasses: 'maki-icon',
