Have you seen these examples: http://www.geocodezip.com/v3_markers_colored.html http://www.geocodezip.com/v3_markers_normal_colored.html http://www.geocodezip.com/v3_markers_infowindows.html http://www.geocodezip.com/v3_markers_normal_colored_infowindows.html http://www.geocodezip.com/v3_MW_example_categories.html They all use custom markers. All the custom markers have the same shape and size, but different colors. I would think it wouldn't be too hard to change any of them to use your marker template. -- Larry > > I appreciate all the help you can give! > > On Aug 5, 10:45 pm, "[email protected]" <[email protected]> > wrote: > > > On Aug 5, 7:12 am, egr103 <[email protected]> wrote: > > > > I'm not great on using JavaScript but I try my best. > > > > Currently I'm using the complex icon code for custom markers taken > > > from Google's > > > page:http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/javascript/overlays.ht... > > > but I would like to know what part of that code I duplicate in order > > > to set up another complex icon in a different location?? > > > > My testing site > > > is:http://idl.newport.ac.uk/legendofkingarthur/testing-custom.htm > > > > All help is appreciated > > > How different is the other "complex icon"?
