Google Maps Marker Icons

The pictures of the icons below are those from http://maps.google.com/intl/en_us/mapfiles/ms/micons and depict the various icons that Google has for use on it’s Google Maps. Each of the icons has a link back to it’s source so you should be able to grab which ever ones you want to use.

As you can see for each icon there’s a ‘shadow’ version, except for the ‘pushpin’ versions. For the shadow version of the ‘pushpin’ scroll down to the P’s, purple pushpin. It has the shadow version, as you only need the one version for all of the different colors of ‘pushpins’.

How to use these I’ll leave up to you to figure out, as I’m still figuring that out. Perhaps I’ll do a post in the future on how to use ‘custom’ markers.
