Hi there, I don't think a Chart API image can be used as marker on a GMap - there's a heap of technical reasons behind this, and I think it might not be possible to do in a practical way.
My solution would involve pre-fetching the Chart Image using cURL, saving it and then referencing this image for the GMap pin icon The shadow on the Gmap is the normal result of a non-available image for an Icon - bye C_M ::carloslabs:: On Jun 20, 1:34 pm, Brian <[email protected]> wrote: > Greetings, > > I'm new, so forgive me for busting in.
