My code below will show the green color marker but I need to show the letter 'k' inside the marker. How would I do this?

var marker={
    "title": "Kathmandu",
    "lat":27.700,
    "lng":85.333333300000050 ,
    "description": "Kathmandu,Bagmati,Neapal<br>[i]"
}
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
    position: myLatlng,
    map: map,
    icon:'http://maps.google.com/mapfiles/ms/icons/green-dot.png',
    title: data.title
});

  • Edit the image with paint/photoshop , and change the image url , for example this could be your substitue icon http://icons.iconarchive.com/icons/icons-land/vista-map-markers/32/Map-Marker-Flag-3-Left-Chartreuse-icon.png – Mustafa sabir Jun 19 '14 at 09:43

  • If PHP is an option, you can [have a look at this answer](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/19296323/google-maps-marker-set-background-color/20778505#20778505) and adapt this to your needs. The provided answer was to change the marker background color but you can also use PHP to write text on your PNG.
