6. Making Beautiful Maps > Markers
Even if you love the standard Google Map, you probably do not want to use the typical red pin to show the location of everything (see Figure 6-1). Fortunately, some other markers come with Drupal Modules, or alternatively you can add your own custom markers.
In OpenLayers styles we showed how to add a new color of circular marker. As well as changing the line thickness, color, and opacity, it is possible to use images for markers. When adding a new style at admin/structure/openlayers/styles, you can enter the path to an image file in the “externalGraphic” field. Normally this file will be in your custom module or theme. Some examples of custom images used as markers are shown in Figure 6-2. An example of a vector used as a marker is shown in Figure 6-3.
