Some New Google Map Markers

Posted in GIS by User ImageDouglas Karr at 6:07 pm

I’m finishing up a mapping site for a client this weekend and decided the current marker (icon) collections out there were pretty plain, lacking any dimension. While I was taking a break, I decided to make a new collection. Feel free to download the markers here and use them for commercial or non-commercial use… my only requirement is a nice thanks!

New Markers

There’s an arrow with shadow, blank marker, markers 0 through 9 and A through Z. To use your own custom markers, Mike has a great tutorial on using custom markers on his Google Map Tutorial site (quite possibly the best resource and nicest guy on the Net!).

Hi I’ll probably use your unlabeled marker icon for the maps generated by my program gpsdings (http://gpstools.sf.net).

Hi!
Thanks!

I am looking for just this kind of numbered markers but HOW do I put them in my google map? There is a way to put in my own ikon but I have to download a file on the web directly to google maps it looks like. Not a pro as you can understand but I love to work on my maps!
