The Leaflet.awesome-markers plugin, http://github.com/lvoogdt/Leaflet.awesome-markers, allows users to utilize the Glyphicons / IonIcons / Font-Awesome icons to 'create colorful iconic and retina-proof markers" for Leaflet and acts as an alternative to creating custom image markers. This task sheet is the first of three, with other task sheets in Bootstrap and IonIcons.

These all build upon the previous task sheets:

• Mapping API's: Leaflet - Getting Started PM2082-14R
• Mapping API's: Leaflet - Adding Markers PM20282-14S, and 
• Mapping API's: Leaflet - Custom Image Markers PM2082-15E

Please refer to those documents for the initial Leaflet map setup.
