Hi!!!

I am working on google map mashup. I tried to display the markers for  
four locations and its getting displayed.  
But these markers’s image is default image by google. (balloon shaped  
image)  
Now i want to put my own image as marker,  
So can anybody plz tell me how it can be done???

The code i follow for creating marker is,

function createMarker(point,html) {  
var marker = new GMarker(point);  
GEvent.addListener(marker, “click”, function() {  
marker.openInfoWindowHtml(html);  
});  
return marker;  
}

Please Help Me!!!

This is a question about the GMaps API, nothing to do with Rails.

Vrishali,

There are instructions for that in GMaps:

- 

> **[Google Maps Platform Documentation  |  Maps JavaScript API...](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript?csw=1)**
>
> Google Maps Platform Documentation

- [Google Haritalar Platformu Belgeleri &nbsp;|&nbsp; Maps JavaScript API &nbsp;|&nbsp; Google for Developers](http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/reference.html#GMarker)
