I’ve created some custom icons for Google Earth, feel free to use these icons but please host copies of the icons on your own server. If you don’t have access to a server then you can use the icons on my server but please let me know about it so that I can account for your traffic in my stats.

For the tours I created a set of circles with numbers based on the standard Google Earth circle icon.

I created this cemetery icon by hacking the Google Earth gas pump icon and I created the rest of these icons from scratch.

In the Natural Resource Sites & Areas file I’ve used a set of number icons for the sites. I got these icons from the no longer online, Google Mapki sites Icon Image Sets page.

Like the icons I’ve created, I prefer you host them on your own server but if you must you can use the copies I’ve hosted here.
