New basemap styling is coming soon to Google Maps Platform. This update to map styling includes a new default color palette, modernized pins, and improvements to map experiences and usability. All map styles will be automatically updated in March 2025. For more information on availability and how to opt in earlier, see New map style for Google Maps Platform.
With advanced markers you can customize the default marker's background, border,
glyph text, collision behavior and replace the default marker icon with a custom
graphic image.
Getting started
Advanced markers require a valid mapID. A map
ID is a unique identifier that represents a single instance of a Google Map. You
can create map IDs and update a style associated with a map ID at any time in
the Google Cloud console.
