adding text to a kml icon

I have a document with many placemarks. Each placemark is a bicycle station, and I have to show how many bikes are in the station. Is there a way to add text to the placemark icon? (I'm aware I can put this data in the balloon, but I really need to add this to the Icon)

Thanks, Ami

I think the easiest way would be to change the icon file you are pointing to based on the number of bicycles at that location. You could use icons like these a MapIcons http://mapicons.nicolasmollet.com/numbers-letters/

The general answer is KML supports LabelStyle which allows you to style the displayed.

The other option is to create custom markers with the numbers associated with them.

Other options would depend on how you are displaying the kml.
