The marker's image can be changed after it's created, and that's what you're wanting. You are seeing that the MarkerImage *object* is what can't be changed after creation. So in your case, you'd create a set of a few MarkerImages (any/all icons you want to use for your Marker's image), then set one of them at a time, as needed, to your Marker Object via .setImage(). Think of the the MarkerImage object as the actual picture, and the Marker object as the slot that the MarkerImage object can be set into. http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/v3/reference.html#Marker
var markerImageCircle = google.maps.MarkerImage(optionsForCircleImage); var markerImageSquare = google.maps.MarkerImage(optionsForSquareImage); var myMarker = google.maps.Marker(objMarkerOptions); // Initial setting myMarker.setImage(markerImageCircle); ... // User has done something and we set it to a square myMarker.setImage(markerImageSquare); All is not lost, you can still do what you wanted to do.
