Could it be possible to have "Bold" and "Italic" Styles for Numbers and Letters ?
Thanks
We need to limit the numbers of options. Bold, italic, Custom fonts, font size are features we can’t do.
We just released the new site with lots of features, now it’s time to rest a little bit
Awesome site and awesome work!!
WOW !!, great help, thanks…. I was wondering if anyone here can help me with the tutorial as to how to make customize map icon. I would like to make the one for my own website. However, all the icons given here are amazing.
Thank you so much for doing this great work. I hope you can give me some advice. I have generated your icons with a custom colour and would like to download a zip file with the Light style. But what I actually download is the Default style. The Light button in the Style panel is active, and I have tried clearing my cache, but still I receive the Default style. This is still good, but for my purpose the Light design would look better. I realize I can download the numbers individually too, but I prefer the one-step process to the 50-step one!
Pablo, thanks for noticing the bug.
I fixed it, so you can download the Light Style numbers.
Cheers !
This site is awesome. Thanks for the amazing work!
So what am I missing about this so-called "custom color"? Two different computers on two different networks using three different browsers, and the only "custom color" I'm generating is the exact same shade of gray.
"custom color" is still working as far as I know. What are you trying to do ? style, number to 300, zip ? in what order ? Maybe try to empty the browser cache.
I finally understood how it works… You cannot click on the colour map to pick a colour (contrary to what the target cursor suggests), you have to grab the circle and move it around. Same for the hue bar: you cannot click on a colour, you have to grab the handles.
I still don't know what the bottom right button does.
Let me be blunt: these are not improvements.
I went to the original Google site to find further numeric icons to a map, and automatically followed the redirect. Now that I've tried adding some the new icons and can contrast them with the old, the new ones, I see, are awful. Specifically:
– The shape has been changed from a landscaped-oriented rectangle to a square. Now they don't match. Fine, maybe you wanted some consistency, but I don't really see the point.
– The new font is smaller, uglier, and harder to read. Don't see the point of that, either, but maybe you had your reasons.
– Many of the numbers are off-center. Seriously? How hard would that be to get right? There's no excuse for that.
– The customize color feature doesn't work. You can have any color you want, as long as it's dark gray.
Thank goodness I discovered, after I scrolled down the old page, that the old icons are still available.
What a nice comment of yours. You should learn some respect first.
Unbelievable comment. Can you believe someone actually took the time to write this? Get a life!
Nico, amzing work! Thanks!
This is so great and easy to use. In 2 minutes I could create 2 different color icons with different numbers on them so I could "key" my google map. Awesome, thank you so much!
Hi guys,
This is very cool. But I'm having trouble with the zip downloads. It always contains the default set, even after I change colors and I can see the colors I chose on the screen. What am I doing wrong?
Zip doesn't work for "classic" and "white" styles, it contains the "default" style instead.
In case the zip file contains the default color, please clear the cache of you browser, it may help.
I cannot hotlink anymore… makes it kind of useless for google…
Hotlinking is disabled… please read the FAQ.
I can't get it to update the colors when I "generate" – what am I doing wrong?
Hey, just wanted to say thanks for the great icons! I needed some markers for a custom map to show the sites I sampled things from… I'm using the map in a presentation, I hope that's okay! They're just really handy for presenting
Thanks once again for taking the time to do this.
Can you have the font color different from the background? I can't seem to figure it out
Am I doing something wrong?
- I cleared my cache
- Selected the "white" set
- Generated a set with black as font color
- Clicked on Zip file
Icons I get are all with white as font color on red background color
Retried and this time got icons on a green background 8-
Seems like I get random colors! Are downloads cached across users or something?
I created a map for an assignment, used these icons, but when the instructor looked at my map the icons did not show up. Instead, a message appeared on the map indicating that hot linking had been disabled. What's going on!! It affected my grade! If anyone has an explanation, I would really appreciate it.
Susan
Sorry to hear it affected your grade…
The explanation is in the FAQ. Maybe you should have read it first.
Am I the one being rude ?
You are accusing me to be responsible for your grade. Am I supposed to take it easy?
By the way, I don't have any customer. This material is free.
Forget it! This guy is crazy! Thanks for your nice job!
I'm looking for number icons in the 300's, i.e. 302, 304 etc… anyone know where I can find them?
And I'm looking for numbers until 999… Could someone help me?
Awesome work, loving the new home of map icons on t'internet.
Would love to have numbers over 300 (perhaps up to 999)
How do I get the numbered icons to show up on the Google map I created? I downloaded them, but Google wants a URL when I "add icons."
Thanks in advance,
Shannon
Shannon, you need to host the icons on a server or on a file sharing service like Dropbox.
See the FAQ page for more details.
Shannon, as mentioned, you need to have the icons somewhere to reference them. Then, it's just a matter of referencing with the icon attribute in your marker.
var image = 'http://www.yoursite.com/resources/images/map-icons/number-01.png';
marker = new google.maps.Marker({
animation:google.maps.Animation.DROP,
map:map,
position:point,
title:'Title',
icon:image
});
Would love to have two-letter icons: AA, AB, AC, …, BA, BB, BC, … ZZ
try this link, do it yourself can make any marker inc AA etc… http://gmaps-utility-library-dev.googlecode.com/s…

use this and change the number 7 to whatever number u want
That is such a great work, and a big help to me. Really considering buying you some beer
Thank You!
Great work!
Here is a batch file which uses ImageMagick to reduce the icon size. Just create a .bat file on your desktop and drag and drop your icons onto it.
@echo off

Could it be possible to have black fonts for numbers and letters? White numbers and letters don´t be visible in some background colors. That option can be in "light" button.
This is great! Thanks so much!
How to show numbers and letters in a maker, for example "A1", "D4"…?
Is it possible to get a set of numeric icons >300?
300 is the limit, for server performance reasons, sorry.
Any chance of this coming back? I know the other icon customization is back.
This page will come back at a later date, I can't give a date at the moment.
Nicolas thanks for this site it has been really helpful, I am wondering when you might reinstate this numbers and letters page as I am interested in using them for a project? would it be possible to host some collections of web safe colors somewhere?
Dave, I am not sure yet when they will come back.
Don't forget some numbers are on the old site: http://code.google.com/p/google-maps-icons/wiki/N…
You can even hotlink those icons as they are hosted on Google Code servers.
Would love to see the numbers up again with numbers over 10 to 30?
Got anything for a smoking section?

HI, it is possible to generate small images?
No sorry it's not possible at the moment.
Thank you for this nice site. Only problem : how to download zip-file? Downloadbutton seems to generate something, but nothing happens afterwards. Thank you for any usefull reactions!
ac3247
The "Download" button reloads the page and generate a zip file.
You should see a little gray popup with a new link "Download the zip file" like on this capture: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/15052756/mapicons-downlo…
Please, I need a smaller icon, less than 32 x 37, ex: 25 x 29. It is possible to choose a size?
Rogerio, I already replied to your first message regarding the size
No it's not possible sorry, one size only.
Abraço
