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!

How about using the MapIconMarker library to dynamically create the markers in different colours?

Thank you very much for taking the time to make these icons and share them too. These will be very helpful.
Thanks, this was hugely helpful. All I wanted was a green icon, don’t know why google doesn’t have it built in to the v3 API. Then I searched all over for one and finally stumbled upon this.
Thank you!
The Google Chart API actually handles icons… It’s very powerful :)

Hello,

sorry, the colors can be the same but we need more letters.
Is that possible?
