/* Here's how to add a coloured marker to a Google Map with a shadow in the 
   right place. 
   
   The pin itself is dynamically generated using the Google Charts API, 
   documented here:
      https://developers.google.com/chart/image/docs/gallery/dynamic_icons
   
   Note however that this API was marked as deprecated on April 20th 2012 
   although it's not clear when or if it will be turned off.
