To insert a map with custom markers in Webflow and connect them to page anchors, you can follow these steps:

Choose a map provider: Webflow allows you to use different map providers such as Google Maps, Mapbox, or OpenStreetMap. Decide which provider you prefer and sign up for an API key if required.
Add a map component to your page: In the Designer, drag and drop a map component from the Elements Panel onto your page where you want the map to appear.
Set up the map: Select the map component and go to the Settings Panel on the right side of the Designer. Enter your API key in the appropriate field and configure the map's initial properties like location, zoom level, and map style.
Customize the map markers: To add custom markers to the map, you can either use the default marker icon or upload your own custom marker image. Select the map component and go to the Settings Panel. Under the "Markers" section, you can choose an icon or upload an image for each marker.
Add page anchors: Now it's time to connect the markers to page anchors. Add page sections on your page where you want the user to be scrolled to when a marker is clicked. Give each section a unique ID by selecting it and going to the Settings Panel under the "Section" settings. Enter a name in the ID field.
Set marker interactions: Select each marker on the map and go to the Interactions Panel. Add a new "Mouse Click" interaction and choose the "Scroll to" action. In the "Element" field, select the corresponding section ID you created in step 5. Customize the scroll duration and easing options if desired.
Preview and test: Preview your site to see the map with custom markers in action. Click on the markers and verify that the page anchors are properly connected, scrolling the user to the correct sections on the page.

By following these steps, you can easily insert a map with custom markers in Webflow and connect them to page anchors, providing an interactive and user-friendly map experience on your website.
