Create an advanced marker

Select platform: Android iOS JavaScript

To add a new advanced marker to a map, create a new AdvancedMarkerElement, passing either a LatLng or LatLngAltitude, and a reference to the basemap, as shown in this example:

TypeScript

async function initMap() {
    // Request needed libraries.
    const { Map } = await google.maps.importLibrary("maps") as google.maps.MapsLibrary;
    const { AdvancedMarkerElement } = await google.maps.importLibrary("marker") as google.maps.MarkerLibrary;

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

    const marker = new AdvancedMarkerElement({
        map,
        position: { lat: 37.4239163, lng: -122.0947209 },
    });
}
initMap();
index.ts

JavaScript

async function initMap() {
  // Request needed libraries.
  const { Map } = await google.maps.importLibrary("maps");
  const { AdvancedMarkerElement } = await google.maps.importLibrary("marker");
  const map = new Map(document.getElementById("map"), {
    center: { lat: 37.4239163, lng: -122.0947209 },
    zoom: 14,
    mapId: "4504f8b37365c3d0",
  });
  const marker = new AdvancedMarkerElement({
    map,
    position: { lat: 37.4239163, lng: -122.0947209 },
  });
}

initMap();
index.js

To remove a marker from the map, set either markerView.map or position to null.
