Is there a handy guide similar to this one for the newer Google markers that reside in the directory http://maps.gstatic.com/mapfiles/markers2/ ?
So far I have been
Concept221 has taken care of rolling the v3 map icons for 9 pre-rendered colors. They also wrote a program for creating custom ones.
https://github.com/Concept211/Google-Maps-Markers
colors: red, green, purple, orange, white, blue, yellow, black
characters: A-Z, 1-100, !, @, $, +, -, =, (%23 = #), (%25 = %), (%26 = &), (blank = •)
![]()

The border might be a hair thinner than the early v3 icons, but they seem to match well with the current ones (2017). Otherwise they look the same to me.
https://www.google.com/fusiontables/DataSource?dsrcid=308519#map:id=3 here is all the icons you can use on google maps.
Could this URL be what you are looking for?
https://mt.google.com/vt/icon?psize=20&font=fonts/Roboto-Regular.ttf&color=ff330000&name=icons/spotlight/spotlight-waypoint-a.png&ax=44&ay=48&scale=1&text=%E2%80%A2
I found that the new google maps version uses some kind of service to build icons dynamically (not documented afaik). You can change the values in the URL to change the size/color of the icon and size/color/font/position of the text. In the example above, %E2%80%A2 corresponds to • (•
)
That's what I got so far:

marker[A-J].png
marker_green[A-Z].png
icon_green[A-Z].png
