Related question: JS Maps v3: custom marker with user profile picture

Using code from there, and changing the border-radius to 50%, gives me a circular icon with the image in the circle.

function CustomMarker(latlng, map, imageSrc) {
  this.latlng_ = latlng;
  this.imageSrc = imageSrc;
  // Once the LatLng and text are set, add the overlay to the map.  This will
  // trigger a call to panes_changed which should in turn call draw.
  this.setMap(map);
