Custom icon for the waypoints

[Garito]

Hi all!
How can I define a custom image for a waypoint?

I do something like:
var iconUrl = "http://chart.apis.google.com/chart?
chst=d_map_pin_letter_withshadow&chld=" + totalMarkers++ + "|65ba4a|
000000";
var directionsService = new google.maps.DirectionsService(),
directionsDisplay = new
google.maps.DirectionsRenderer({markerOptions: {icon: iconUrl}});

and add the waypoints with the request object but I can't specify the
custom icon for the waypoint

Is this posible?

Thanks a lot

Is this what you are trying to do?

Yeah!
This is what I'm looking for

Can you explain me how to do that?
The step by step instructions panel will respect the custom icon?

Thanks a lot!

It is brute force, it processes the returned result and displays the
polyline, markers and directions.

It is really just a proof of concept, you can change them however you
like. I wasn't as thorough as Mike Williams was in his v2 tutorial
where he recreated the Google Maps look and feel, but you can do that.

Ah! ok, I understand
Seems a little silly that this BIG library has lacks like this but I'm
glad to have it

I hope the Google people add this feature in the next versions

Thanks a lot

1. v3 is still under development.
2. there may be some way to accomplish this with the existing version,
I just don't know how, but I don't see anything obvious in the
documentation (unless there is something with MarkerOptions).
3. You can either vote for an existing enhancement request or add a
feature request:

Yeah!
I understand uncomplete libraries (I program too)

Thanks for the link to the library issues

Here's an example where I use a custom icon for all waypoints:
http://appleton-static.appspot.com/static/directions-custom-icon.html
This uses the markerOptions field of DirectionsRenderer. Is this what
you had in mind?

[Garito]

Hi, Ben, thanks for helping

but, no, this is not what I need (I try this before)

This changes the icon, yes, even for the waypoints, yes, but I need
that every point has its own custom icon

And this doesn't change the icon for the step by step panel

Sorry! but thanks!

[Ben Appleton]

I see. Then you'll need something like Larry's example.

Cheers
Ben

[Garito]

Yes, I count with this since Larry's comment

Thanks a lot!
