title: Google Maps API 3 - Custom marker color for default (dot) marker
body: <p>I've seen lots of other questions similar to this (<a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3948763/google-map-icon-pin-how-to-define-color">here</a>, <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2467720/how-to-change-color-of-marker-in-google-map">here</a> and <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2472957/how-can-i-change-the-color-of-a-google-maps-marker">here</a>), but they all have accepted answers that don't solve my problem. The best solution I have found to the problem is the <a href="http://code.google.com/p/google-maps-utility-library-v3/wiki/Libraries" rel="noreferrer">StyledMarker</a> library, which does let you define custom colours for markers, but I can't get it to use the default marker (the one you get when you do a google maps search - with a dot in the middle), it just seems to provide markers with a letter in, or with a special icon.</p>
