Personalized map pin styling

Currently, I am following a tutorial on this link: http://jsfiddle.net/doktormolle/jcHqt/. However, the rendering of the marker is not up to par, especially when using my own custom marker as it appears quite pixelated. I am looking for assistance in achieving the same effect using a div with CSS instead. Can anyone provide guidance?

body,html,#map_canvas{height:100%;margin:0;}
#map_canvas .centerMarker{
position:absolute;
/*URL of the marker*/
background:url(http://cdn1.iconfinder.com/data/icons/Map-Markers-Icons-Demo-PNG/128/Map-Marker-Marker-Outside-Azure.png) no-repeat;
/*Center the marker*/
top:50%;left:50%;
z-index:1;
/*Fix offset when needed*/
margin-left:-10px;
margin-top:-34px;
/*Size of the image*/
height:34px;
width:20px;
cursor:pointer;
