I, too, am frustrated by the decision to depreciate dynamic icons and chart images. The dynamic icons feature was my reason for selecting Google Maps over other options. I utilize image pie charts in my marker clusters ( I need to indicate attribute information of the markers being clustered). Will an improved alternative be offered (as with the GeoChart replacing the GeoMap) or are we just losing functionality? I hardly think hosting my own marker images is an improvement over dynamically generated icons available in variety of colors. Maybe it is cheaper for Google. I wish Google would give us a little more information so folks currently using the depreciated APIs could plan accordingly. Thanks.
