How can I change the color of a Google Maps marker?
Since maps v2 is deprecated, you are probably interested in v3 maps: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/markers#simple_icons For v2 maps: http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/overlays.html#Icons_overview You would have one set of logic do all the ‘regular’ pins, and another that does the ‘special’ pin(s) using the new marker defined.
