[Pro] Google Map with numbered markers?

Freeway
1

I have a test map here

http://www.trevormckay.co.uk/nummap/

I need to add sequential numbers to about 95 markers.
I am using a custom marker here but I see I can add a number to a map pin from here:

How do I alter the code in my example to add the numbers to the individual markers?

Thanks

Hi Trev,
Here’s something that should work for you;
http://users.softpress.com/tim/google-map-markers/

A few things to mention here;

  1. You are using version 2 of the Google Maps API. The current version is 3 and things have changed slightly so it may be worth looking at the new API reference.
  2. Your sample page had an HTML page embedded within another page (duplicate HTML, HEAD, BODY tags etc) which was confusing both me and the Google Maps API.
  3. The example above uses static marker images from http://mapicons.nicolasmollet.com/numbers-letters/?style=white I couldn’t get the dynamic marker example you provided to work with your map. If you choose to use these images download a set and repoint the code to the images on your own server.
  4. For clarity I’ve commented out the references to the marker shadow images. If you want these back in then you will need to uncomment and update the references in the code.

Regards,
Tim.

Tim

Thanks so much for your reply and help.
I’m afraid I need a little hand holding here! The example you have there is exactly what I need.
Could you be so kind to explain what I need to do to get this into my freeway document. Marker shadows not needed there will be enough going on! I have downloaded the set of number icons.

No problem Trev. Upload the images to your server and let me know the url and I’ll adjust the code for you.
Regards,
Tim.
