A simple issue but unable to find a solution.

I have some image files that I placed in a subfolder called icons in my working directory in my ASP.NET website. I want to set an image during initialization to the markers on my Google map. But this isn’t working. I have tried-

var marker= new google.maps.Marker({icon:'E:\cdeez\Sites\googletest 5\icons\busballon.png', position:pos,map:map});

It gives an error:

Not allowed to load local resource: file:///E:/cdeezSitesgoogletest%205icons%08usballon.png

However there is no problem if I place the image in the working directory. I guess giving the absolute path is not the right way too. So what is the right way in the above case.(Just a reminder- the above code will be in the aspx file).

    According to the MarkerOptions docs, the icon should be a URL. However local files (embedded with file:///) tend to be ignored by browsers if the website is served over http – and I think that is what is happening in your case.

    I would suggest to try out the following steps:

    • try using a relative path, e.g icon: "/icons/busballon.png"
    • try using a http path to your file, e.g. icon: "http://yoursite.com/icons/busballon.png"
