Try adding the line

    <script src="http://maps.google.com/mapfiles/maps.19.js"
type="text/javascript"></script>

just after your normal Maps API script line.  The new script will
overwrite the symbols from the old script.  I have not confirmed this.
We have tested it with our API test cases internally, so I am fairly
confident there will not be issues for sites that use the documented
parts of the API.
