Page Summary
This example demonstrates how to create interactive markers on a Google Map using HTML and CSS for customization.
Markers display property information like price, address, and features, with distinct icons for different property types.
Clicking on a marker toggles a highlighted state, revealing more detailed information about the property.
The sample code utilizes the Google Maps JavaScript API with TypeScript or JavaScript, and includes CSS for styling.
Users can interact with a live demo through JSFiddle or Google Cloud Shell, or clone the sample code to run locally.
