Create a default Advanced Marker

Stay organized with collections Save and categorize content based on your preferences.

To add a new default Advanced Marker to a map, create a new AdvancedMarkerView, passing either a LatLng or LatLngAltitude, and a reference to the basemap, as shown in this example:

TypeScript

function initMap() {
    const map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map') as HTMLElement, {
        center: { lat: 37.4239163, lng: -122.0947209 },
        zoom: 14,
        mapId: '4504f8b37365c3d0',
    });

    const markerView = new google.maps.marker.AdvancedMarkerView({
        map,
        position: { lat: 37.4239163, lng: -122.0947209 },
    });
}
declare global {
    interface Window {
        initMap: () => void;
    }
}
window.initMap = initMap;
index.ts

JavaScript

function initMap() {
  const map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map"), {
    center: { lat: 37.4239163, lng: -122.0947209 },
    zoom: 14,
    mapId: "4504f8b37365c3d0",
  });
  const markerView = new google.maps.marker.AdvancedMarkerView({
    map,
    position: { lat: 37.4239163, lng: -122.0947209 },
  });
}

window.initMap = initMap;
index.js

CSS

/* 
 * Always set the map height explicitly to define the size of the div element
 * that contains the map. 
 */
#map {
  height: 100%;
}

/* 
 * Optional: Makes the sample page fill the window. 
 */
html,
body {
  height: 100%;
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
}

[class$=api-load-alpha-banner] {
  display: none;
}

style.css

HTML

<html>
  <head>
    <title>Default Advanced Marker</title>
    <script src="https://polyfill.io/v3/polyfill.min.js?features=default"></script>

    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="./style.css" />
    <script type="module" src="./index.js"></script>
  </head>
  <body>
    <div id="map"></div>

      and consistent behavior across browsers, consider loading using Promises

Try Sample

To remove a marker from the map, set the markerView.map property to null:

markerView.map = null;
