Ed,

Icons, but where is the key? what icons are standard for google maps?
OS maps provide a key for churches, post offices and much more...
much of this information is static over decades.
markers or drawing pins provide a very limited common vocabulary.

Google Map Symbols Key

how is it possible to add symbols to google maps?
in addition to the current drawing-pin or text-bubbles.

my hack demo: http://www.peepo.co.uk/temp/moulin/moulin.svg
valuable prize for adding location and text.

Example keys:
