Correct URL of the gmap new pointer icon in my external JS?

[carlozdre]

I load the js successfully with:

<script src="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/js/google-map.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

I then have:

var apartments = new google.maps.MarkerImage('/images/apartment-3.png',
new google.maps.Size(129, 42),
new google.maps.Point(0,0),
new google.maps.Point(18, 42)
);

.. and load the apartments var for each POI I show on my Google map.

The paths are /js/google-map.js and /images/apartment-3.png

The js code for Google map display is correct because if I use the js code in the header with

var apartments = new google.maps.MarkerImage('<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/images/apartment-3.png'

,

for the image URL, it works. If I get the js in the external js file, my icon won't load anymore, even if I use /images/apartment-3.png or images/apartment-3.png for the URL of the new icon, which is normal as my header is on the root of this WP theme.

What am I doing wrong? It's a WordPress platform.

What does template_url echo out as? Compare these two:

....MarkerImage('/images/apartment-3.png', // works
....MarkerImage('<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/images/apartment-3.png', // doesn't

So where does the image reside, at

/images/apartment-3.png

or in the wordpress theme directory?

/wp-content/themes/your-theme/images/apartment-3.png

The leading slash means "start at the domain root."
