Temporary Custom Marker

[Hendrix]

Hi,
I am trying to create my own (temporary) marker in google maps but
can't seem to get anything to work (I have tried appending an img to
the #map_canvas div). I want to be able to overlay an image of an
arrow where the user clicks, once the image is there the user would be
able to rotate to indicate their direction. Once they are done it will
send the info (latlng and arrow orientation) back to my server. If
anyone could point me in a right direction I think I could figure the
rest out. I see that there is a pixel to latlng function that can be
called but again I am not sure how to get my custom image hovering
over the map in order to capture the pixel.

Thanks in advance!

umm, from the description there seems to be no reason why you
shouldn't add a standard marker with a custom image, and let the API
handle the maths?
You can't rotate a marker icon, but you can setImage from a library of
images.

After I have the orientation and location from the user then yes, I will make it a standard user. The issue is getting those 2 pieces of information first.
