The Story
Creating custom markers with shadow:

- In the preview you can see how it the icon, shadow and combined look like on a blank page.
- In the second preview you can see how it will look like on your maps.
There's also a testing map where you can place your custom markers to see them in action.
- Download the shadow image from the link.
- Finally, when you're happy with the result simply add the image and the shadow to the DMXzone Google Maps interface and upload to your server.
