Description

Expanding the marker-symbol integer range from 0-9 to 0-99 or 0-999 would be helpful for labeling all markers of data sets with a large number of features, such as a flight plan or a campus layout where all the buildings are numerically labeled.

Some examples:
Number of buildings managed by Harvard, 646 buildings
https://oir.harvard.edu/fact-book/infrastructure

Buildings managed by MIT, 190 buildings
https://web.mit.edu/facilities/maps/build-info.html

A flight plan from KLAX (Los Angeles) to EG08 (Boston) 70 waypoints

Research direction
