Hi, The Google Maps API lets you choose which image should be used for
a marker, in
   http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/reference.html#GMarkerOptions
   http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/reference.html#GIcon
you just need to give, as URL for the image, a URL that follows the
examples in 
http://groups.google.com/group/google-chart-api/web/chart-types-for-map-pins,
for example
  http://www.google.com/chart?chst=d_map_pin_icon&chld=home|FFFF00

3-digit numbers will not fit in the normal map pins, but you can use a
resizable pin, like
http://www.google.com/chart?chst=d_map_spin&chld=1.0|0|FFFF88|14|_|123,
or use something other than numbers inside the pin.
