Easiest Way to Create a Map with Numbered Icons

I'm new to Google Maps API, but haven't seen numbered icons.

I'm new to Google Maps API, but haven't seen numbered icons.

Anybody done this?

if you mean each icon image itself has a number on/in it, that means you have to create the image and shadow image for each icon/number.

if you want a number to pop up with every rollover or click action, that is very easy - simply put a listener on that action for that icon to pop up a text string containing the number.

Thanks Frank...(I like the name)

The Google API lets you easily choose a different color for each icon...and whether or not it has a dot in the center of it.

You would think that you could choose one with a number in the center instead

But I can't figure it out without disecting the whole thing in photoshop and turning it in to a 4 hour project
