Markers with Vector-Based Icons

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

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 uses SVG path notation to add a vector-based symbol as the icon for a marker. The resulting icon is a marker-shaped symbol with a blue fill and no border.

Read the documentation.

/* 
 * 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.

body {
