Google provides some default reddish icons for their Google Maps app, but no other colours besides those. This proved to be rather a nuisance, since a client requested precisely that.
So… 260 images manually created later, I’m done. What a PAIN! So for anyone else needing this, click here to download the files. The zipfile contains all A-Z .png’s in the 10 colours seen below, as well as a .psd if you need to change them from A-Z to 1-100 or whatever. Hope it comes in useful!

thankyou thankyou big big help
Sorry, but all icons are scretch in the width.
So I think the icon must all be 32×32 and not 22×32.
Thanks!!! Another happy searcher.
Thank you! Stylish and exactly what I needed.
Nice. Do you have all of them in a grid as a single PNG image. Like the picture on this page. I would make a script that uses that as a sprite. Google Maps Api supports two dimensional sprites now.
Great!
Awesome, thanks!

Thanks a lot – exactly what I needed for a project. Great job.
These are great but after downloading them how do I upload them to my map? Thanks.
WOW thanks for the effort in creating these pics.
Nice one (or rather, nice 260). Saved me an hour of Photoshop tedium! Thanks.
Nice one! Still can’t believe google haven’t cottoned on with this yet.
Very useful – thanks! You might have added a blank marker and one with a dot – for each colour.
Benjamin…so, how does one get map icons into the google maps app?
Great work! after lot of google search found this, very good collection.

Thank you for doing this. It looks like you’ve saved a lot of designers a huge amount of time, trial and errors… Have a good person medal!
Thanks a huge bunch! You saved me a ton of time!
I love you! I was just about to do it my self! By then i found your solution. Thanks dude!
your icons really SUCK.
i wish that you never made them….
hahahahahhaha thanks Frank! :-)
Thank you so much!!!
Brilliant icons, but I can’t do anything with the PSD file: Irfan View, which as you know can do anything, just shows it as a single image even though it’s a half megabyte file: what’s the secret please?
Thanks for your work. However, when I print the Google maps marked with your icons, they don’t appear correctly but are all red with a black star inside… Do you know where the problem come from ? I have tested printing with IE and Mozilla.
Thanks in advance for your help !
I re-post my comment, it seems that it has been deleted !
Thank you very much for your work ! But di you know why when I print the maps with your icons, they all appear red with a star inside ! Should you have some information to fix this problem, please let me know.
Thanks you in advance

Okay, this may seem very obvious to some, but how to I get these to my googlemaps. I downloaded them and have the zip, but that’s about the extend of my computer skills. I have a MacBook and use FireFox if that’s any help. Any help?
Thanks a bunch!!
thank you, exactly what i was looking for !
Thank you so much! I’ve been trying to finish a project for a few days now, not knowing how to do it just right, and this solves my problems!
Thank you very much for sharing.
Re: comment #3 and not being able to open the psd in Paint Shop Pro. I am using PSPvX and am able to open and use your psd just fine. I am able to save the file compatible with PSPvX [10] and below if anyone wants.
I recomand you something like that..

you can generate any 3 leter+number combination..
with a small modify you can generate the actual files…
Hey, great job. just unizipped into a folder /shared/img/markers and changed this line in my JS.
letteredIcon.image = “/shared/img/markers/Blue_marker” + letter + “.png”;
Brilliant work and thank for donating something for the greater good. Me too, cannot understand why Google had not done that – they can do it for static maps …
thanks so much for sharing these!
Dude, thanks a lot!
can someone upload the versions with 1-10. I dont have photoshop… thx
