@ Shibin. The short answer is you can't customize the placemarks displayed when plotting a GeoRSS feed. The same goes for KML content unless a custom icon is specified in the .kml file. As I noted (see under Overlaying external content) there are, however, moves afoot to bring this requested feature to the Google Maps API.

That's right Sten: the Maps API supports both KML and GeoRSS overlays.

This is SO cool! :-) This feature is that the same as the Google Maps API have, allowing for adding external data from a feed.
