You want to use a custom marker in Google Maps (not the API)? I don't
think so; but then this isn't the right group for Google Maps
questions.

Yes. GDirections works with addresses (which it geocodes) or points
you have already geocoded. In the latter case you can do things like
  to: The place you want to go to @51.2345,0.1234
and the text before the @ will be used in the directions, with the lat
and lng after the @ as the location.
