Markers Stay organized with collections Save and categorize content based on your preferences.
Use markers to draw a user's attention to a location on a map. This guidedemonstrates how to use and customize markers in 3D maps. You can control theshape, size, and color of markers, in addition to the altitude at which theyappear.
Use markers to show locations on maps. The example above shows a basic, singlemarker with no customization applied.
Customize color, scale and icon image
Customize the default marker's background, glyph, border color, and size.

Replace the default marker icon with a custom SVG resource.

Set marker altitude
You can set marker altitude by extruding the marker and setting the altitude.

Make markers respond to click and keyboard events
Make a marker respond to clicks and keyboard events by adding aclick eventlistener.
functioninitMap(){constmap=newMap3DElement({center:{lat:37.4690,lng:-122.1074,altitude:0},tilt:67.5,range:45000,mode:MapMode.HYBRID});constinteractiveMarker=newgoogle.maps.marker.Marker3DInteractiveElement({map,position:{lat:37.4239163,lng:-122.0947209},});interactiveMarker.addEventListener('gmp-click',(event)=>{// Handle the click event.// ...});}Set marker collision behavior
Specify how a marker should behave when it collides with another marker or maplabel.
constmarker=newMarker3DElement({position:{lat,lng},collisionBehavior:google.maps.CollisionBehavior.REQUIRED});Next step
