Google Scale Build on the same infrastructure that Google Maps is built on for maximum app performance. In the most basic case, an icon can
simply indicate an image to use instead of the default Google Maps pushpin icon. For details, see our Site Policies. Alternatively, you can add the
marker to the map directly by using the marker's setMap method, as shown in the example below:. A marker identifies a location on a map. The
code below creates an HTML page consisting of a head and a body. At this stage of the tutorial, the div appears as just a grey block, because you
have not yet added a map. Icons specified in this manner should set their icon properties to an object of type Icon. You may want to specify
complex shapes to indicate regions that are clickable, and specify how the icons should appear relative to other overlays their "stack order".
Alternatively, you can call setLabel on the Marker object to set the label on an existing marker. You can delete the markers by removing them
from the map and then setting the array's length to 0 , which removes all references to the markers. Set the div width and height to greater than 0px
for the map to be visible. You can use one of the predefined paths in google. Broadly speaking, markers are a type of overlay. You may add the
marker later by calling the marker's setMap method. In addition to raster images, a marker supports the display of vector paths called Symbols.
You can convert an address into latitude and longitude coordinates using the Geocoding service. You can animate markers so that they exhibit
dynamic movement in a variety of different circumstances. The following Animation values are supported:. The center property tells the API where
to center the map. You can add a heading level three above the map using the code below. The code below contains the initMap function that
initializes and adds the map when the web page loads. Build the next generation of location experiences We have the world mapped. The following
example adds a simple marker to a map at Uluru, in the center of Australia: When creating a marker, you can specify a label property in the
MarkerOptions object. If instead you wish to delete the marker, you should remove it from the map, and then set the marker itself to null. Makes
the sample page fill the window. Last updated August 29, The section below displays the entire code you need to create the map in this tutorial.
Introduction This tutorial shows you how to add a simple Google map with a marker to a web page. Set the zoom value higher to zoom in to the
earth at higher resolutions. The code below constructs a new Google maps object, and adds properties to the map including the center and zoom
level. It simply removes the marker from the map. The developer guides provide detailed information on getting started with the Geocoding
service. If you want to display a letter or number on a marker, you can use a marker label. To get you started we'll guide you through the Google
Developers Console to do a few things first:. Map creates a new Google maps object. Global Coverage Provide your users with the reliable
location information they need throughout the world. Plus, with the most up-to-date location data and global coverage, riders are able to book a
ride faster and easier. If you are using a label with a custom marker, you can position the label with the labelOrigin property in the Icon object. If
you have many markers, you might not want to drop them on the map all at once. With more than one billion global monthly active users in over
countries, our data gives you accurate real-time information for mapping, navigation and places. You can make use of setTimeout to space your
markers' animations using a pattern like that shown below:. SymbolPath or define a custom path using SVG path notation. In the above example,
the marker is placed on the map at construction of the marker using the map property in the marker options. By default, a marker uses a standard
image. To start developing, please head over to our developer documentation. For details, see our Site Policies.
