In your KML file there should be an <Icon> element that contains a URL that looks something like "http://www.google.com/intl/en_us/mapfiles/ ms/icons/blue-dot.png". The exact URL might be different, but it's pointing to some URL that contains the blue icon you're seeing. To change the icon, you just have to insert a different URL.
Thankfully Google has provided a bunch of icons for us. Unfortunately I've never found a Google-supplied list of all their icons. But in your case it sounds like you just want to change the color of the icon. To change it to red, simply replace the URL in the <Icon> element with "http://www.google.com/intl/en_us/mapfiles/ms/icons/red- dot.png". So it would then look like: <Icon>http://www.google.com/intl/en_us/mapfiles/ms/icons/red-dot.png</ Icon> You can take guesses at what the URL for the other colored icons are, like: http://www.google.com/intl/en_us/mapfiles/ms/icons/green-dot.png http://www.google.com/intl/en_us/mapfiles/ms/icons/orange-dot.png http://www.google.com/intl/en_us/mapfiles/ms/icons/yellow-dot.png For more info and URLs for other Google-supplied icons go here - http://econym.googlepages.com/geicons.htm Hope this helps. -Brett On Dec 7, 11:33 pm, msaz87 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hey all, > > I have a feeling this is a simple question... but I couldn't find an > answer anywhere... > > I'm having a map load some markers via KML, but I want some of them to > be green, some to be red, etc. I don't care about the markers being > custom, the standard type is fine -- just different colors. > > http://maps.google.com/maps?q=http://www.radarrover.com/service/kml/t... > is my attempt at figuring out different markers... and nothing really > worked.
