Cant add markers to custom tile map

Question

I'm new to coding for Google Maps. Ive been trying to make myself a map using custom image tiles (Out of World of Warcraft) and i've been following a guide here: http://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1184658

Ive got the map showing and everything like that working. But now I'm trying to add markers and they won't show up, Can anyone help?

Heres my code: (Without the marker code in there.)

    div.style.backgroundColor = '#1B2D33';
    div.style.backgroundImage = 'url(' + baseURL + ')';
    return div;

See the documentation on adding Markers , to add the marker to the map, use the 'map' property

  var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
    position: map.getCenter(),
    map: map,
    title: "Hello World!"
  });

code snippet:

 function initialize() { var mapOptions = { minZoom: 2, maxZoom: 7, isPng: true, mapTypeControl: false, streetViewControl: false, center: new google.maps.LatLng(0, 0), zoom: 3, mapTypeControlOptions: { mapTypeIds: ['custom', google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP], style: google.maps.MapTypeControlStyle.DROPDOWN_MENU } }; map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map_canvas"), mapOptions); map.mapTypes.set('custom', CustomMapType); map.setMapTypeId('custom'); // To add the marker to the map, use the 'map' property var marker = new google.maps.Marker({ position: map.getCenter(), map: map, title: "Hello World!" }); } google.maps.event.addDomListener(window, 'load', initialize); function CustomMapType() {} CustomMapType.prototype.tileSize = new google.maps.Size(256, 256); CustomMapType.prototype.maxZoom = 7; CustomMapType.prototype.getTile = function(coord, zoom, ownerDocument) { var div = ownerDocument.createElement('DIV'); var baseURL = 'http://d1m6g5gl70bc4l.cloudfront.net/'; baseURL += zoom + '_' + coord.x + '_' + coord.y + '.png'; div.style.width = this.tileSize.width + 'px'; div.style.height = this.tileSize.height + 'px'; div.style.backgroundColor = '#1B2D33'; div.style.backgroundImage = 'url(' + baseURL + ')'; return div; }; CustomMapType.prototype.name = "Custom"; CustomMapType.prototype.alt = "Tile Coordinate Map Type"; var map; var CustomMapType = new CustomMapType();

 html { height: 100% } body { height: 100%; margin: 0px; padding: 0px } #map_canvas { height: 100%; z-index: 0; } #gmnoprint { width: auto; }

 <script type="text/javascript" src="http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js"></script> <div id="map_canvas" style="background: #1B2D33;"></div>
