Switching marker color, basic Hello World:
http://esa.ilmari.googlepages.com/hellocolorswitch.htm

Its repaired now. Thanks for the report.

I have made a dynamic tool for creating markers with custom icons.  It
will in fact allow you to control all of the features of a GMarker and
GIcon and then show you the result as well as the necessary JS to
create that marker.
The link with info is here:

I am following the example of geoxml-rss.html and using

      geoXml = new GeoXml("rss_URL ");
      map.addOverlay(geoXml);

to display RSS item at given position (specified within rss item).

Seems to me the marker used in this case is always the blue one.

I was just wondering if there is any way to change this default
behavior or more specifically:

Can I set different marker to be used when different rss_RUL has been
read?

Many thanks!

cheers, Ross K

Thanks a lot for your reply Ross!

After some investigation, I have decided to code the stuff myself.
Wish me luck!

Best regards,

Custom Marker Maker
http://www.powerhut.co.uk/googlemaps/custom_markers.php

Upload an image (png, gif, jpg) and this page creates the 6 separate
image files (image, shadow, printImage, mozPrintImage, printShadow and
transparent) that make up a custom marker icon and suggests an array
of x,y pixel coordinates that define the image map area used for
capturing image clicks in non IE browsers. Transparency of the
original image is preserved. Users see their image as a marker on a
map and are presented with a zipped package for download that contain
the generated images and some sample code.

The map doesn't load for me in IE7.

Hi Ralph,

Thanks for the feedback.

It's working for me in IE7 on both windows PCs although I haven't
checked it yet under a different OS.

Checking the stats so far, about 16% of successful users are with IE7,
a small % with IE8 - yet the majority are with Firefox.

Is this still the case for you and is anyone else having problems?

Feel free to drop me an e-mail if you don't feel this to be a suitable
place.

Many thanks

A couple of months ago, I started a project of custom icons/placemarks
for gMaps.

I have a Client that wants to use animated markers with sound for
their Google Map. Is this possible? If so, will it slow done their
site?

Thanks,
John

Created a php script to generate numbered markers with options for
text size, color, placement, kerning.
