google-map-marker icon using iron-icons

[Paul Rondeau]

I'm looking for a way to set the icon for a google-map-marker, ideally I could use the iron-icons as they are already being used elsewhere in my project. I cannot find a way to set the icon marker properly. 

Going off of the iron-icon element, I've tried: 

 

<link rel="import" href="../bower_components/iron-icons/iron-icons.html">

 

<google-map-marker latitude="37.7749295" longitude="-122.41941550000001" icon="favorite">

</google-map-marker>

Custom icons work by setting: icon="someImg.png", but I'd really like to use the iron-icons for this. 

Other icons work on the page within iron-icon tags:

<iron-icon icon="favorite"></iron-icon>

Am I doing something wrong or is there a workaround for this?

Thanks

Hi Paul,

Right now, it's `icon` attribute is a simple URL to an image. The map marker element would need to be taught how to use the svg images within the iron icon set. The maps API takes a URL to an image as well: https://github.com/GoogleWebComponents/google-map/blob/master/google-map-marker.html#L236
