As of February 21st, 2024 (v3.56), google.maps.Marker is deprecated. We encourage you to transition to the new google.maps.marker.AdvancedMarkerElement class. Advanced markers provide substantial improvements over the legacy google.maps.Marker class. The minimum version of the Maps JavaScript API with google.maps.marker.AdvancedMarkerElement is 3.53.2. At this time, google.maps.Marker is not scheduled to be discontinued.
This example replaces the default marker with a custom flag icon.
Read the documentation.
