This is a Geo Mashup site focused on Iceland’s capital city. I implemented a custom info window with the nice touch of a colored border to match the color of the clicked marker. This is a great example of a site that uses Geo Mashup well with just a touch of customization to make it distinctive.

Hi D_
Is there a tutorial or instructions on how to do custom markers and windows? It’s time for us to step our our design as we are moving forward with a new theme.
We’d love to have different windows for the main map and for the smaller one that resides in the widget.
Thanks!

Hey Ethan,
The tough part is that everyone tends to have their own rules for when to use a particular marker icon, so it’s hard to write a generic tutorial. Once you get custom javascript set up, the google v2 vs v3 guide may help. You can also check out the urb.is custom javascript. Note that it uses google v2.
