Scattermapbox maki symbols plot on map, but not legend

Hi Plotly,

First, thank you for all the fantastic work you do.

I am a big fan of / heavy user of the plotly.go objects that render maps (Scattermapbox / Choroplethmapbox).

I have noticed, however, that when setting the symbol type to a maki symbol, it will render it on the map - but not the legend. This feels like a bug, as there is also a colour associated with the legend item that is not matched anywhere on the plot / by the symbol (except in hovertext).

Reproducible example below:

import os
import plotly.graph_objects as go

mapboxt = os.getenv('MAPBOX_TOKEN') # a mapbox token

lats = [52.370216, 53.2191696,  50.851368, 51.8125626]
lons = [4.895168,  6.5666699, 5.690973, 5.8372264 ]

fig = go.Figure()

scatt = go.Scattermapbox(
            lat=lats,
            lon=lons,
            mode='markers',
            hovertext=['Amsterdam', 'Groningen',  'Maastricht', 'Nijmegen'],  
            hoverinfo='text',                 
            below='',                 
            marker=dict(symbol ='hospital'),
            name ='my_fake_hospitals',
            showlegend=True)

fig.add_trace(scatt)

fig.update_layout(go.Layout(title_text ='Is it a hospital? No, it is a blue dot!', 
                            title_x=0.5, 
                            width=750, 
                            height=700,
                            mapbox = dict(center= dict(lat=52.370216, lon=4.895168),            
                                         accesstoken= mapboxt,
                                         zoom=5,
                                         style="light"
                                       )))

Finally, as a side note, some maki symbols plot whilst others do not. I have determined through trial and error that this is down to whether or not the MapBox style includes these specific symbol types. Using custom Mapbox styles, therefore, may silently break the maki functionality as well.

Thanks you for your attention.

Comece executando o exemplo reproduzível de Python fornecido com Scattermapbox, o símbolo Maki "hospital" e showlegend=True; em seguida, compare o símbolo do mapa com seu item de legenda. Rastreie o tratamento de marker-symbol e da legenda do Scattermapbox, incluindo a observação sobre os estilos do Mapbox; considera-se concluído quando os símbolos Maki compatíveis aparecem de forma consistente na legenda e no mapa, com o comportamento coberto por um teste de regressão.
