title: The anchorPoint is ignored when creating Marker on a Google Map
body: <p>The Google Maps API v3 documentation says that the MarkerOptions can include anchorPoint to specify the offset (move the icon relative to the marker):
  <a href="https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/reference#MarkerOptions" rel="nofollow">https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/reference#MarkerOptions</a></p>
  
  <p><strong>I have tried to use anchorPoint, but it seems to be ignored. What foolish mistake have I made?</strong></p>
  
  <p>Here's some code which creates two markers; one with an anchorPoint and the other with the default (marker is anchored to bottom centre of the image). I'd expect one to move down a bit, but they stay horizontally aligned.</p>
  
  <pre><code>var oMap = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('div_map'), { zoom: 25, center: new google.maps.LatLng(50.14,-1.4), mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.TERRAIN });
  
  var marker1 = new google.maps.Marker({ position: new google.maps.LatLng(50.14, -1.403), map: oMap, title: 'Normal', icon: 'http://www.merlinrocket.co.uk/images/mroa_logo.gif' });
  var marker2 = new google.maps.Marker({ position: new google.maps.LatLng(50.14, -1.407), anchorPoint: new google.maps.Point(50, 50), map: oMap, title: 'Offset', icon: 'http://www.merlinrocket.co.uk/images/mroa_logo.gif' });
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I have found lots of code examples where {url/size/origin/anchor} are passed to the <code>icon:</code> part of the MarkerOptions, but I do not wish to use that method. Regardless, the code I'm using above seems to adhere to the documentation, yet doesn't make any visible difference.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks for any help you can give.</p>
