        var lat         


        

Answer 1

You can use the newly released GeolocationMarker which is part of the Google Maps API Utility Library.

It will add a marker and accuracy circle at the user's current location. It also allows a developer to customize the marker using the setMarkerOptions method and specifying an icon property.

Answer 2

Use icon inside marker like

    var Marker = new google.maps.Marker({
        map: map,
        animation: google.maps.Animation.DROP,
        position: "",
        icon: /bluedot.png
});

you can use this google map location indication circular blue dot icon similar to the google map

Answer 3

You can use MarkerOptions to set a custom image. Check the Google Maps Javascript API V3 Reference to more details about Google Maps.
