[Google Maps API v3] Use an SVG for a marker

[V]

i know it's possible to add svg overlays to google maps. i'm wondering
if you can use svg files as markers. i tried setting it just like you
would a png or jpg file, but nothing shows up:

var image = new google.maps.MarkerImage('buses/images/marker.svg');
var marker2 = new google.maps.Marker({
                position: coord,
                map:map,
                icon: image
               });

also tried:
var marker2 = new google.maps.Marker({
                position: coord,
                map:map,
                icon: "buses/images/marker.svg"
               });

am i approaching this the wrong way?

thanks.
