# Animated map and location icons

> 9 free animated map and location icons, including Anchor, Crosshair and Globe. For React, shadcn/ui and Lottie JSON, MIT licensed.

Map pins, navigation arrows, globes, targets and anchors. A pin that drops on hover helps a store locator or delivery address stand out, and the globe works as a language or region switcher.

Of the 9 icons, 8 play once on hover and 1 loops while hovered. Each one comes as a React component, a shadcn/ui component and a Lottie JSON animation with static SVGs, free for commercial use under the MIT license.

- [Hover-to-play animated icons](https://useanimations.com/interactions/hover-replay) (8): Plays once on mouseenter unless reduced motion is preferred. Leaving does not stop it; entering during playback does not restart it.
- [Hover loop animated icons](https://useanimations.com/interactions/hover-loop) (1): Loops while hovered, finishes the current cycle after mouseleave and stays static when reduced motion is preferred.

## Code

```jsx
import UseAnimations from 'react-useanimations';
import mapPin from 'react-useanimations/lib/mapPin';

<UseAnimations animation={mapPin} size={32} />
```

```bash
npx shadcn@latest add https://useanimations.com/r/map-pin.json
```

Every icon is also a Lottie JSON file at `https://useanimations.com/icons/<id>.json`: [Lottie icons](https://useanimations.com/lottie-icons).

## FAQ

### Which animated map and location icons are included?

9 icons: Anchor, Crosshair, Globe, Life Buoy, Map, Map Pin, Navigation, Navigation 2 and Target. All of them are free for personal and commercial projects under the MIT license, with no attribution required.

### How do I use these animated map and location icons in React?

Install react-useanimations, add import mapPin from 'react-useanimations/lib/mapPin' and render <UseAnimations animation={mapPin} size={32} />. The icon plays its hover replay interaction and follows the text color. With shadcn/ui, run npx shadcn@latest add https://useanimations.com/r/map-pin.json instead.

### Can I use these animated map and location icons without React?

Yes. Each icon is a Lottie JSON file at https://useanimations.com/icons/<id>.json (for example https://useanimations.com/icons/map-pin.json), playable with lottie-web, lottie-ios, lottie-android or Flutter's lottie package; static SVGs are on each icon page. None of them use expressions, so lottie-web's light build is enough.
