 Customizing your `Short Name` with emojis isn’t just a quirky feature—it’s a creative way to express the purpose or personality of your device. For instance:
 
 - If your node’s Long Name is **“Crichton’s Car”**, you could set the `Short Name` to 🚗.
-- Deploying a node near your campsite? 🏕️ would be perfect.
+- Using a node to monitor weather conditions? 🌤️ could be a great choice.
 - Setting up a device for a hiking trip? Try 🥾 or 🌲.
 
 This adds both customization and a unique identity, making it easier for others to recognize your device in the network. For example, each emoji can convey the purpose or personality of the node, adding a touch of creativity to your setup.

 The possibilities are endless. You can pick emojis based on:
 
-- **Location**: A 🌊 for coastal areas, 🏜️ for deserts, or 🏔️ for mountain regions.
 - **Purpose**: 📡 for a relay node, 🏠 for a home base station, or 🛶 for boating adventures.
-- **Personality**: 😎 for a cool vibe, 💡 for an innovative setup, or 🧙‍♂️ for something magical.
+- **Travel**: 🛫 for air travel, ⛴️ for a cruise, or 🚂 for train adventures.

+## Emoji Short Names and Waypoints on the Map 🗺️
+
+The fun doesn’t stop at the nodes list! On the **Mesh Map**, nodes with emoji `Short Names` stand out, making it easy to quickly identify them at a glance. For nodes without emojis, the alphanumeric `Short Name` will be displayed instead. Check out the example below to see how emoji `Short Names` add a visual pop to the map:
+
+> <img
+>   src="/img/blog/image-11.webp"
+>   alt="Mesh Map with Emoji Short Names"
+>   style={{ maxHeight: "400px", width: "auto" }}
+> />
+
+In addition to `Short Names`, waypoints can also use emojis. Waypoints are a great way to mark specific locations on the map, like trailheads, campsites, or meeting points. By adding an emoji to your waypoint, it becomes both functional and fun to use. For example:
+
+- 🏕️ for a campsite.
+- 🏞️ for a scenic view.
+- 🍔 for a planned lunch spot.
+
+Waypoints are another creative way to make the map uniquely yours, enhancing both usability and personality.
