There's an example of how to make a point draggable (which has a layer) and there's an example of how to setup a marker with a custom image, but how would I make that custom image draggable on the map when it doesn't have a layer associated with it?!
i came up with this from some another example i found, and mixed the two. It worked for what i wanted... I remember seeing this while looking for answers (a few times) so i came back to share.
