Hello, We have a citizen science website which plops a marker down on a map after the user types in a name of the location, which can then be refined to match specifically where they were.
In several usability studies, many users didn't realized they could click and drag the marker (even though text explained they could do so) and we are wondering if an animated marker would give the sense to users that they can indeed pick up and move that little guy around. I have seen Google use this in their own Google maps, when you adjust a marker's location. Is this easy to implement? Can I just use the same G DEFAULT ICON settings to point at an animated gif/png ? This is the exact functionality we're thinking of explained here http://google-latlong.blogspot.com/2010/03/edit-places-using-street-view-images.html Thanks for any ideas!
