Does anyone know of an easy way to style the user controls (white dots on the bouns of the radius) for the editable circles in Google Maps? I cant find any way of doing this in the API documentation. At the very least it would be great to have the dots on a lower zindex than my pin but modify the zindex options of both has no results.
One option would be to do something like this example from the "article": Fun with MVC in the Google Maps Javascript API v3 documentation/ The handles there are just markers, the distance from the center is bound to the raduis, the center marker is bound to the center of the circle.
function init() {
var mapDiv = document.getElementById('map-canvas');
var map = new google.maps.Map(mapDiv, {
center: new google.maps.LatLng(37.790234970864, -122.39031314844),
zoom: 8,
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
});
var distanceWidget = new DistanceWidget(map);
google.maps.event.addListener(distanceWidget, 'distance_changed', function() {
displayInfo(distanceWidget);
});
google.maps.event.addListener(distanceWidget, 'position_changed', function() {
displayInfo(distanceWidget);
});
}
google.maps.event.addDomListener(window, 'load', init);
Modified DistanceWidget code (changed the marker icons):

* provide the radius in km.

* @param {google.maps.Map} map The map on which to attach the distance widget.
