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 do I make different color markers if I am just working on the web version of google maps on a PC and not on an app. can i still get different color markers?
Guess I’m dense, but how do you use these. I downloaded the file, but how do I get them onto the google map?
Thanks,
Mike

Thank you so much Ben, this is very useful.
Suppose I wanted a blank marker without the letters (A, B, C), just plain colored marker could you recommend how I can erase the letter?
Cheers!
Hi Emezie, you’ll need to edit the .psd file in photoshop. That includes all the icons in different layers: you can just change it there.
Hope this helps!
Thanks for the beautiful markers, I use them ovar at Snapseatlas.dk :-)
Very nice markers. Now I have to create some for the numbers 1-99.
Thank for the markers. I only needed the red A and red B – but the thought counts. :-)
thanks man I found this extremely useful
Great job! Thanks
Thanks for this. Can you provide advice on how to export them again from photoshop once I have changed a color to a different variety?
Hey @josh, I’m afraid you’ll need to do it manually. I couldn’t figure out a way to automate it so I manually sliced each up and exported as an image. Good luck!
Nevermind. I found the perfect script to do it. Thanks again for the great files and for including the psd. AMAZING.
