Google Maps - custom icons not appearing

I have written some javascript to call information from and place a marker with a custom icon for each entry in the data file 'latlngtrunc.js'.

latlngtrunc.js contains 'product', 'result', 'level' & 'posn' for each entry. There are 3 different 'levels' each of which I would like to represent as a different colored icon.

The code below works fine when using the commented line:

var marker = new GMarker(posn);

and shows the generic markers (no custom icons) as expected. When I replace that with:

var marker = new GMarker({map:map, posn:posn, icon:icon.icon, shadow:icon.shadow});

No markers are displayed at all.

Both of the alerts:

alert(icon.icon);
alert(icon.shadow);

correctly return the image urls, so I'm pretty sure all of the information is being retrieved correctly from the external 'latlngtrunc.js' file.

Any help would be much appreciated!

Simple solution in the end. I needed to add 'Anchor' properties to 'var customIcons' in order for them to display:

var customIcons = {
            risk: {
                    icon: 'http://labs.google.com/ridefinder/images/mm_20_green.png',
                    shadow: 'http://labs.google.com/ridefinder/images/mm_20_shadow.png',
                    iconAnchor: new GPoint(0,0),
                    infoWindowAnchor: new GPoint(0,0)
            },
            threat: {
                    image: 'http://labs.google.com/ridefinder/images/mm_20_orange.png',
                    shadow: 'http://labs.google.com/ridefinder/images/mm_20_shadow.png',
                    iconAnchor: new GPoint(0,0),
                    infoWindowAnchor: new GPoint(0,0)
            },
            fraud: {
                    image: 'http://labs.google.com/ridefinder/images/mm_20_red.png',
                    shadow: 'http://labs.google.com/ridefinder/images/mm_20_shadow.png',
                    iconAnchor: new GPoint(0,0),
                    infoWindowAnchor: new GPoint(0,0)
            }
    };

Anchors of (0,0) offset the images slightly so will need fiddling with to position correctly.
