Hi. Have you considered: Create a png of a custom pinpoint icon with a transparent background. Upload that png to a live Web site and jot down the absolute url path. Then...
1.) Create a Google account (if you don't already have one) 2.) Log into your Google account and then go to Google Maps 3.) Click the "My Maps" text link (under Google logo) 4.) Click the "Create new map" text link 5.) Give your map a title and description 6.) Click the blue pinpoint icon on the map's interface 7.) Drop the pinpoint icon on your location 8.) If the pinpoint's ballon window isn't already exposed, click the blue pinpoint icon to expose it 9.) Click the pinpoint icon IN THE BALLOON window. This should expose the library of various icons you could use with your custom map. 10.) However, you could also "Add an icon" as well by clicking the "Add an icon" text link 11.) This will open up a dialog box prompting you for the absolute url path to your png file. Fill that in and click OK button... 12.) Now, choose the "Link" text link in the upper right corner of the Google Map window 13.) You could customize your this map before you grab the embed code by selecting the "Customize and preview embedded map" text link OR just grab the HTML code to drop into your web site's page where you want the map to appear 14.) this is a nice simple work around for a cool map with a custom icon...
