Re: Icon size in Google Maps Earth - KML

[barryhunter [KML Guru]]

Google Maps always resizes the icon to 32 x 32 pixels - it does not
support other sizes.

This is a 'feature' of how GGeoXml works.

And from the sound of your description you are using the Earth Plugin
in side a Google Maps API mashup?

I guess the embedded Plugin in there has a similar behaviour - so
that the various modes match.

Hope that helps

create an png file with transparent canvas size of 32x32. Then put
your 16x16 icon within this canvas align it botton left. Works a
treat.
