title: Google maps v3 default marker path with other colors
body: <p>My goal is to change the color of the nice looking default google maps marker. Therefore, I'm looking for the path / shape of the default (red) one. I've found this to change to color: </p>
  
  <pre><code>function pinSymbol(color) {
      return {
          path: '???' 
          fillColor: color,
          fillOpacity: 1,
          strokeColor: '#000',
          strokeWeight: 2,
          scale: 1
      };
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>So, by invoking the function, I would like to change the color (e.g. icon: pinSymbol("#666"). However, I don't know where to find the path? I'm not looking for the v2 / plain marker!</p>

  <p>// edit: I've found this path: </p>
  
  <pre><code>path: 'M 0,0 C -2,-20 -10,-22 -10,-30 A 10,10 0 1,1 10,-30 C 10,-22 2,-20 0,0 z M -2,-30 a 2,2 0 1,1 4,0 2,2 0 1,1 -4,0',
  </code></pre>
