Am I right in thinking that there's only ONE icon included in google maps, and to use anything other than that you have specify a URL for an image, and a URL for a shadow, etc etc?
Basically I'm shocked that all of the icons you can see if you create a "My Maps" map aren't available in the API. It should be as simple as saying "icon: greenPin", "icon: parking", "icon: tent", surely?
Seems bizarre that they've not included such a basic thing given how powerful the rest of the API is - why make us jump through hoops giving specific URLs to images & shadows?
Am I missing something?
At the very least where can I find a list of the official google URLs for these "built in" images, as I'm struggling even with that.

Step 1 Go to Add or Edit Map and Scroll down to the 'Infowindow Settings' section. Step 2 Enable the box of 'Hide Markers on Page Load' option. Step 3 Click on Save Map and open it in browser.
You won't be charged until your usage exceeds $200 in a month. Note that the Maps Embed API, Maps SDK for Android, and Maps SDK for iOS currently have no usage limits and are at no charge (usage of the API or SDKs is not applied against your $200 monthly credit).
Click the "My Places" button just beneath the search bar. Click "Maps" and wait for the list of maps to appear down the left side of the screen. When they do, click the title of the map containing the marker that you want to remove.
Click the name of the pin you've just added on the menu panel on the upper left corner of the web page, and click the paint bucket icon next to it. A small dialog box with a color picker will appear. Click “More Icons” on the box, and a larger dialog box labeled “Choose your icon” will show.
Google has refreshed the look of the icons (and other things). The new default icon is this one here.
Other icons with this look can be found/made here.
^(By editing that URL, you can get the icons with letters inside, other colors, different sizes, &c.)

Yes you are right, google default image is only one and if you want to another image you have to use URL.
