Redesigned default color marker icons

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What versions of WordPress and Geo Mashup are you using?
WP: 3.5.2
GM: 1.6.1

Feature request: bigger and better designed marker icons. On the satellite 
view, the white marker is nearly impossible to see.

I'd be very open to contributions - if you or someone else can submit a better 
set of icons with the same color set, please do!

Hi there,

really appreciate the always ongoing further development and enhancements :-)

As for this one, it would be great to have an option to switch back to the 
previous icons/ markers (without editing the source code), especially if like 
with this is will break some designs due to the different sizes of the icons.

In case you consider doing so, I am happy to contribute the required code for 
an option/ switch...just let me know!

Thanks for consideration

It shouldn't be too hard to write custom.js to do it - I would gladly share 
that if you can get it going.

Hi, maybe I am missing a point, but doing this via custom.js requires replacing 
quite some (fundamental) functions, like:

GeoMashup.createMap
GeoMashup.addGlowMarker
GeoMashup.colorIcon
GeoMashup.makeMarkerMultiple

Wouldn't it be an option to have a (WordPress-like) filter that 
defines/modifies the marker base name...that would even enable using 
alternative icon sets?

Is the API method (like 
http://snipplr.com/view/64680/wordpress-geo-mashup-mapstraction-custom-markers/)
 not effective?

Thanks for pointing me that way! I am not sure how I missed that using the API 
for some other modifications ;-)

Actually one icon missing in your example is the "glow marker" - in case you 
want to add, see code I use below:

GeoMashup.addAction( 'glowMarkerIcon', function( properties, glow_options ) {
    glow_options.icon = properties.custom_url_path + '/images/mm_20_glow.png';
    glow_options.iconSize = [ 22, 30 ];
    glow_options.iconAnchor = [ 11, 27 ];
} );

Thanks, I added that to the example snippet!
