I have an application that creates a map as a single html file that I want to be able to archive and to email to people. An implication of this is that it can't reference other files because those files won't be present when the html file is opened by the recipient.
So ... now I would like to customize the marker icons. The only way I can see to do this is by referencing web urls that will be reliable over time. This is especially important because from testing I see that if a custom marker link is broken I don't get the default marker. I get nothing. I have found a couple of icon libraries at Google, like http://gmaps-samples.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/markers/ but the "gmaps-samples" portion of the link does not give me a sense of permanence. I would like something more like "guaranteed-icons/google.com" :-) Is there such a thing as a permanent icon library, preferably maintained by Google? Also, is there some way I can test a link within the Javascript to determine whether the icon is there or not? I am relatively new to the language but if I could do this, then I could omit the "icon:" reference to a missing icon and let the map revert to the Google default.
