Now you have the same reference with the same id to one and the same icon many times. An id - as in HTML - should always be unique, otherwise its invalid.
If there is a style definition like <Style id="blue"> <IconStyle> <Icon> <href>http://whatever.com/bluedoth.png</href> </Icon> </IconStyle> </Style> you can refer to this style like <Placemark> <name>Whatever</name> <description><![CDATA[ Whatever]]></description> <styleUrl>#blue</styleUrl> <Point> <coordinates>-121.434599,37.740223</coordinates> </Point> </Placemark> -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps JavaScript API v3" group.
