Topic: Google Map - custom markers & hover effect
How do you guys suppose they've done this with the google map? I have searched, but I don't know what terms to use because I am not coming up with anything.

Hi Susie,
this is done through the Google Maps API - you can add custom markers using the examples here:

Alternatively, you could - ahem - 'learn from' the javascript they have used themselves, changing the co-ordinates and markers as appropriate.

Good idea.
Thanks!
Hi Susie,
There's a really easy tutorial on how to create custom markers (which is what those 'signs' are) on x2tutorials.com. The address to the page is http://www.x2tutorials.com/google_map_own_markers.php.
Good luck!
