The markers you are currently using are all based on the dimensions,
shadows etc of the G_DEFAULT_ICON and the only thing you are actually
changing is the main icon image.

gicons["blueIcon"] = new GIcon(G_DEFAULT_ICON, "http://
cf.bigfatdesigns.com/clients/natss/media/images/icon_college.png");

Despite what it says in your original posted code, icon_college.png
does not have the same dimensions as the default google marker, it is
actually 40px × 38px.

So to make it look right.. you would need to set some of the other
properties shown in the reference.

You could upload icon_college.png to the Google Map Custom Marker
Maker at http://www.powerhut.co.uk/googlemaps/custom_markers.php to
get all the images and parameters you need.



      // This icon uses the same shape as the default Google marker
      // So we can use its details for everything except the image
      blueIcon.image = "http://cf.bigfatdesigns.com/clients/natss/
media/images/icon_college.png";

is not true.
