How do I add a high-resolution custom marker on a static google map

google-maps, retina-display

Solution

Set `&markers=scale:2` in conjunction with a @2x marker icon image and the `&scale=2` parameter.

Problem

I'm using Google static maps (documention here) to show shops' locations, and I'm using a custom marker instead of the default. However, this marker image appears low-resolution on high-resolution mobiles like the iPhone 4. How do I fix it?
