Thanks for your responses - i'm afraid predictably i'm very new to the google maps API so if you've got a moment would appreciate a bit more help.
I can see the marker image constructor is what I need to insert but can you tell me where to place this? All I would like is a simple png file to replace the default marker image for all the points on my map which I intend to load from the xml file. If this works I will look into shadows but that is not at all a priorty. Many thanks, Ben On Sep 15, 3:32 pm, Nathan Raley <nlrale...@gmail.com> wrote: > You create a marker image.
