The example of your map is for given coordinates. ['Bondi Beach', -33.890542, 151.274856, 4, "red"],
My map uses mysql and maps based on 'charge' which you could compare to 'beach'. Unfortunately there are hundreds of different 'beach' names, and I am only trying to set a custom icon for one, and a different icon for all of the others. I see what you accomplished in your map, but I dont know how to implement it into my map which seems fundamentally different. Here is my map: http://www.legalgrab.com/florida_arrest_map3.html I am very new to this so I appreciate your patience.
