You need to rename your images. This is easy
instead of myimage.png you can use gis_marker.image.myimage.png
make sure "myimage" does not contain spaces or other special
characters.
web2py (T2/T3) needs to figure out from the image name which table and
which field stores the reference to the image. This may be required
for access control and other features.
