Question 3

Mapsicon vs country flag icons: which is better?

Accepted Answer

Mapsicon is better for map-based visualizations or placeholders, while flag icons suit national identity displays; choose based on whether you need geographical shapes or symbolic flags, as Mapsicon focuses on stylized outlines.

Question 5

Are Mapsicon icons accurate for country borders?

No, the README states they are stylized placeholders, not precise maps; borders are simplified and may not reflect real geographical details, so avoid using them for accuracy-critical applications.

Import SVG files directly or use them as img src, and leverage React components for dynamic rendering based on ISO codes; ensure to handle missing countries like those omitted in the collection.
