Custom marker icons using DirectionsRenderer.setDirections()

[Matt]

I'm using DirectionsRenderer.setDirections() to plot directions onto my map, and the default markers are A, B.

Is there anyway to override these so I can have my own marker for A and another one for B.

I notice the DirectionsRenderer has a setOptions but from what I can see, the options defined in there are used by all markers for that direction object?

Any help would be awesome.

Hi Matt-

You can change the icons with DirectionsRenderer.

First set the value "DirectionsRendererOptions.suppressMarkers =
true", then pass to the DirectionsRenderer.
After that, get legs from DirectionsResult.
(DirectionsResult > routes > legs > start_location and end_location)

In use this example case:
http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/javascript/examples/directions-complex.html

add the suppressMarkers property like this:
----------------------------------------
var rendererOptions = {
map: map,
suppressMarkers : true
}
directionsDisplay = new
google.maps.DirectionsRenderer(rendererOptions);
----------------------------------------

and add the code at the showSteps function:
-----------------------------------------
function showSteps(directionResult) {
var myRoute = directionResult.routes[0].legs[0];
for (var i = 0; i < myRoute.steps.length; i++) {
:
}

//add the last point marker
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: myRoute.steps[i - 1].end_point,
map: map,
icon: "http://xxxxx/icon.png"
});
}
-----------------------------------------

I hope it can help you.

Hi Matt-

I wrote a description page.

My english is poor, but maybe you can understand.
