MapIconMaker.js for v3 ??

[Tee Cee]

Can any body tell me if MapIconMaker.js has been ported to v3 or
exists in beta somewhere
or is there any known open src 3rd party marker icon maker lib that
will simplify the creation/management/

The goal is straight forward I want to
1) name the icons as A...Z or 1..N
2) change icon colors
3) add labels above/beside icons

2) To change icon color to green I load KML line
<Style><IconStyle><Icon><href>http://www.google.com/intl/en_us/mapfiles/ms/icons/green-dot.png</href></Icon></IconStyle></Style>

I know KML probably is an alternative way and the main way is a second
way to change icon colors.

Certainly not taboo. Probably no one who read the question knows the
answer. I don't.

Finally found the straight forward ans to this
http://groups.google.com/group/google-chart-api/web/chart-types-for-map-pins
Thiss should be right on the v3 docs pages for images right here
http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/javascript/reference.html#MarkerImage
if any google ites are reading this should not have taken me weeks to
stumple across this
an simple hint link in the ref docs & I would seen the light w/o any
doc just a link on the
MarkerImage right beside the url:string would dot it



To get a standard map pin with a letter inside, use an URL like

http://chart.apis.google.com/chart?chst=d_map_pin_letter&chld=A|FF0000|000000

The chld URL argument contains several components separated by "|".
The meaning of each component is:

1. letter to put in the map pin, for example A, b, or 9. This must
be in UTF-8, and then URL-escaped, so, for example, to get a space you
must type +, to get a plus sign you must type %2B, to get љ you must
type %D1%99, and to get 駅 you must type %E9%A7%85.
2. pin fill color, as a 6-digit hexadecimal number, for example
000000 for black, FF0000 for red, FFFFFF for white, or FFFF00 for
yellow.
3. text color, also as a 6-digit hexadecimal number.
