I’m new to Google Maps API, and have been looking for ways to customize

  • 0

I’m new to Google Maps API, and have been looking for ways to customize the markers. The API provided only allows me to change icons but what I actually need is to pass HTML content to the marker. I want to pass some data e.g.numbers to the marker, and when user clicks the marker, more details will show inside infoWindow. (something like this website)

At first, I thought it would be something like Instagram Photo Map, you have a summary of photos within a region. But then I realize that’s more like a markerClusterer which simply counts the total number of markers within the range (correct me if I’m wrong).

I still couldn’t find any way to display customized data on the marker. Is there any plugin I can use if no default API available?

P.S. first time posting a question, hope it’s clear! highly appreciate your help!!!!

    Basically what you see on the linked map are not real google.maps.Markers, you see Custom Overlays. With a custom overlay you may draw any HTML-content on the map, e.g. these labels.

    You may either use the build-in methods to draw these overlays, or use a library like infobox
