/* * 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. */html,body{height:100%;margin:0;padding:0;}gmp-map{height:400px;}

HTML

<html>  <head>    <title>Add a Map with Markers using HTML</title>    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="./style.css" />    <script type="module" src="./index.js"></script>  </head>  <body>    <gmp-map      center="43.4142989,-124.2301242"      zoom="4"      map-id="DEMO_MAP_ID"         >      <gmp-advanced-marker        position="37.4220656,-122.0840897"        title="Mountain View, CA"      ></gmp-advanced-marker>      <gmp-advanced-marker        position="47.648994,-122.3503845"        title="Seattle, WA"      ></gmp-advanced-marker>    </gmp-map>    <!--       The `defer` attribute causes the script to execute after the full HTML      document has been parsed. For non-blocking uses, avoiding race conditions,      and consistent behavior across browsers, consider loading using Promises.
