title: rotate a .gif image on google maps api v3?
body: <p>I find lots of answers on this question but not one that works when using .gif images and not markers.  To use .gif images (and also animated gifs) I use code (which works)</p>
  
  <pre><code>var image = {
    url: 'img/RedFlashYacht.gif',
    size: new google.maps.Size(75, 75),
    origin: new google.maps.Point(0, 0),
    anchor: new google.maps.Point(0, 32),
    scaledSize: new google.maps.Size(50, 50)
  };
  marker = new google.maps.Marker({
      position: pos , 
      map: map,
      icon: image,
      store_id: mkrID,
      optimized: false
  }); 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>//for anyone who has not used .gif, the line 'optimized: false'  is critical</p>
  
  <p>What I want to do now is rotate the gif image (to a specified angle, not a constant rotate [that I can do as animated gif]). Dispite setting the ID for the image with 'store_id: mkrID,'   var mkrID being previously created, and I can read it back with code  marker.get('store_id') so I know it's been set.  I cannot access the image with document.getElementById.   nor can I get any of the google maps API rotate eample code to work either.  Examples I find seem to be for v2 or relate to google maps own markers, not custom images using a gif.</p>
  
  <p>Has anyone been able to rotate a gif image in a google map?</p>
