Google Map API Marker Icon Url?

Keyyubi picture Keyyubi · Jul 3, 2015 · Viewed 47.2k times · Source

I'm trying to change marker icon to "red-circle" or "red-pin" or anything else. In these codes;

markerOptions: {
      icon: 'images/beachflag.png'
    },

the marker doesn't show. But if i make the icon line a comment line, so marker shows like "red-pin" icon

So, i need to marker icons list or URL list which directly supported by Google Map API. Or is there such a thing?

Thank you.

This is the (unofficial) list that I refer to: https://groups.google.com/d/msg/Google-Maps-API/2k3T5hwI5Ck/RRso0D2jB1oJ

provided by pamela (who was a Google employee at the time), it is fairly old, but still accurate.

It's also worth noting that only the original set of icons is available
in the location that was mentioned earlier in this thread

E.g. blue.png is available at both locations
  http://maps.google.com/mapfiles/ms/icons/blue.png
  http://maps.google.com/mapfiles/ms/micons/blue.png
But the new yen.png icon is only here
  http://maps.google.com/mapfiles/ms/micons/yen.png

I'll provide the list to you here, but you should know it's possible
some of these icons will disappear later. You may want to copy to your
own server to be sure.
Happy reading... :)
