Robert! I think your map build out would be more manageable and less 
time-consuming if you used "My Maps" in Google Drive. It'll suffice for the 
feature list you provided, and then some. See for yourself on the My Maps

site. (Google Workspace

required 🤷🏽‍♂️)

If I use  Google Maps JS API, what options are available for a different 
style of map?

Thanks for the reply.

What I want is this map with this map with smaller dots without data..
 
I looked at this api. Is it possible to use this map with it?

If your main requirement is *custom icons per location*, use the *Google 
Maps JS API* directly (not GeoChart). You’ll have full control over:

   - 
   
   Marker icons (any image or SVG)
   - 
   
   Info windows
   - 
   
   Event handling
   - 
   
   Layers and clustering
   
Why not GeoChart? Because it's primarily for data *visualization*, not 
adding custom UI like different marker images.

I created a world map for cities the of my BirdBreath cartoon followers.

The markers are by default, too large.

I want to use instead,  my own marker.

I tried using the displayMode: 'markers', option with the  icons option 
 and it ignores  the latter.

Any suggestions?

I would appreciate any suggestions, you may have.

Thanks
Robert


      var options = {
        displayMode: 'markers', 
        defaultColor: 'red',
        icons: {
           default: {
              normal: 'http://birdbreath.com/images1/red_dot.png',
              selected: 'http://birdbreath.com/images1/red_dot.png'
            }
        }
