Make markers draggable | Maps JavaScript API

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

When draggability is enabled, users can drag markers on the map using the mouse or the arrow keys. To make a marker draggable, set the AdvancedMarkerElement.gmpDraggable property to true.

The following example map shows a draggable marker that displays its updated position when dragging is finished (the dragend event is fired):

1. Press the tab key until markers are focused.
2. Use the arrow key to move to the desired marker.
3. To activate dragging, press Option + Space or Option + Enter (Mac), Alt + Space or Alt + Enter (Windows).
4. Use the arrow keys to move the marker.
5. To drop the marker at its new location, press Space or Enter. This will also turn dragging off.
6. To turn dragging off and return the marker to its previous position, press Esc.

async function initMap() {
    // Request needed libraries.
    const { Map, InfoWindow } = 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: 37.39094933041195, lng: -122.02503913145092},
        zoom: 14,
        mapId: '4504f8b37365c3d0',
    });

    const infoWindow = new InfoWindow();

    const draggableMarker = new AdvancedMarkerElement({
        map,
        position: {lat: 37.39094933041195, lng: -122.02503913145092},
        gmpDraggable: true,
        title: "This marker is draggable.",
    });
    draggableMarker.addListener('dragend', (event) => {
        const position = draggableMarker.position as google.maps.LatLng;
        infoWindow.close();
        infoWindow.setContent(`Pin dropped at: ${position.lat}, ${position.lng}`);
        infoWindow.open(draggableMarker.map, draggableMarker);
    });

}

initMap();

async function initMap() {
    // Request needed libraries.
    const { Map, InfoWindow } = await google.maps.importLibrary("maps");
    const { AdvancedMarkerElement } = await google.maps.importLibrary("marker");
    const map = new Map(document.getElementById('map'), {
        center: { lat: 37.39094933041195, lng: -122.02503913145092 },
        zoom: 14,
        mapId: '4504f8b37365c3d0',
    });
    const infoWindow = new InfoWindow();
    const draggableMarker = new AdvancedMarkerElement({
        map,
        position: { lat: 37.39094933041195, lng: -122.02503913145092 },
        gmpDraggable: true,
        title: "This marker is draggable.",
    });
    draggableMarker.addListener('dragend', (event) => {
        const position = draggableMarker.position;
        infoWindow.close();
        infoWindow.setContent(`Pin dropped at: ${position.lat}, ${position.lng}`);
        infoWindow.open(draggableMarker.map, draggableMarker);
    });
}
initMap();

To set descriptive text for a marker, which can be read by screen readers, use the AdvancedMarkerElement.title attribute, as shown here:

    const markerView = new google.maps.marker.AdvancedMarkerElement({
        map,
        position: { lat: 37.4239163, lng: -122.0947209 },
        title: "Some descriptive text.",
    });

When the title attribute is set, the text is visible to screen readers, and will appear when the mouse hovers over the marker.
