Add a marker to a 3D map

Select platform: Android iOS JavaScript

Use markers to display single locations on a map. This page shows how to add a marker to a map programmatically, and by using HTML.

Add a marker using HTML

To add a 3D marker using HTML, add a gmp-marker-3d child element to the gmp-map-3d element. The following snippet shows adding markers to a web page:

<html>
    <head>
        <title>3D Marker HTML</title>
        <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="./style.css" />
        <script
            async
            src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?loading=async&key=AIzaSyA6myHzS10YXdcazAFalmXvDkrYCp5cLc8&libraries=maps3d"></script>
    </head>
    <body>
        <gmp-map-3d
            center="40.7489,-73.9680,0"
            heading="315"
            tilt="65"
            range="800"
            mode="SATELLITE">
            <gmp-marker position="40.7489,-73.9680" title="UN Headquarters">
                <div class="custom-marker">
                    United Nations Secretariat Building
                </div>
            </gmp-marker>
        </gmp-map-3d>
    </body>
</html>  

Add a marker programmatically

To add a 3D marker to a map programmatically, create a new Marker3DElement , passing lat/lng coordinates and a reference to the basemap, as shown in this example:

 async 
  
 function 
  
 init 
 () 
  
 { 
  
 // Make sure the Marker3DElement is included. 
  
 const 
  
 { 
  
 Map3DElement 
 , 
  
 Marker3DElement 
  
 } 
  
 = 
  
 await 
  
 google 
 . 
 maps 
 . 
 importLibrary 
 ( 
 'maps3d' 
 ); 
  
 const 
  
 map 
  
 = 
  
 new 
  
 Map3DElement 
 ({ 
  
 center 
 : 
  
 { 
  
 lat 
 : 
  
 37.4239163 
 , 
  
 lng 
 : 
  
 - 
 122.0947209 
 , 
  
 altitude 
 : 
  
 0 
  
 }, 
  
 tilt 
 : 
  
 67.5 
 , 
  
 range 
 : 
  
 1000 
 , 
  
 mode 
 : 
  
 'SATELLITE' 
 , 
  
 gestureHandling 
 : 
  
 'COOPERATIVE' 
 , 
  
 }); 
  
 const 
  
 marker 
  
 = 
  
 new 
  
 Marker3DElement 
 ({ 
  
 position 
 : 
  
 { 
  
 lat 
 : 
  
 37.4239163 
 , 
  
 lng 
 : 
  
 - 
 122.0947209 
 , 
  
 altitude 
 : 
  
 50 
  
 }, 
  
 // (Required) Marker must have a lat / lng, but doesn't need an altitude. 
  
 altitudeMode 
 : 
  
 'ABSOLUTE' 
 , 
  
 // (Optional) Treated as CLAMP_TO_GROUND if omitted. 
  
 extruded 
 : 
  
 true 
 , 
  
 // (Optional) Draws line from ground to the bottom of the marker. 
  
 label 
 : 
  
 'Basic Marker' 
 , 
  
 // (Optional) Add a label to the marker. 
  
 }); 
  
 map 
 . 
 append 
 ( 
 marker 
 ); 
  
 // The marker must be appended to the map. 
  
 document 
 . 
 body 
 . 
 append 
 ( 
 map 
 ); 
 } 
 void 
  
 init 
 ();
