Hello Hennie

You are welcome here.
We have a good tutorial here :
http://code.google.com/p/google-maps-icons/wiki/HowToAddNewIcons

Did you see it ? Does it help ?

I see that your maps use some customs icons and also have tooltip text+photo 
details.
I don't understand what you can't do ?

Hennie,

As Nico mentioned, please read the tutorial he linked to. The way you have 
linked 
this projects icons is not correct. In fact I guess you have downloaded them 
and 
saved them in another format, because the transparency around our icons are 
gone and 
they look just to big and bad. They should look like on our pages.

We only supply icons and we are not Google.  We do not have any scripts to help 
you 
generate the tooltips/description boxes, you have to create them in the way you 
have 
done so far, "by hand". Hope you find our icons useful anyway. 

Kind regards,

Matthias (myBCN.es)
