International map icons at US NPS

http://www.nps.gov/hfc/carto/map-symbols.htm

Many of these are the internationally used symbols, and are public domain. 
I've not looked into your templates yet (I don't use Photoshop), but would 
guess it should be straightforward to make use of these - by cut and paste 
if nothing else :-)

Most of them you already have, but there are a few additions I would find 
useful: drinking water, first aid, telephone (well, possibly that's becoming 
obsolete :-) ). There are also some esoteric ones: rattlesnakes?? seal 
viewing??

The library you found is great !
The PDF shows them all in one file :
http://www.nps.gov/hfc/carto/symbols/other_symbols.pdf

This file also have some pictos :

They say "NPS symbols are free and in the public domain" so we could use some of
their stuff. 

I selected some icons in their library, check this image :

Matthias, are you OK with the selected icons and their category ?

Thanx "Pw.Robins" for the link :)

Do you like them ?

well, I didn't need the seals - my point with them was that not many people 
would need 
them, but . . . :)

The drinking water is very good, but I think the colours on the first aid are 
the 
wrong way round: white on red is the Swiss flag; the Red Cross for first aid is 
normally red on white.

Oops I made "seals", someday someone will need it (or not ^^)

For the firstaid, white on red is done on purpose : our red category is for 
"Health"
stuff, and our design rule is white on colored background.
As you can see, we don't have a white category.

So sorry, I will keep it red on white :(
