Is there any update on this? I also would like to use Advanced Markers as described in https://cloud.google.com/blog/products/maps-platform/announcing-highly-customizable-higher-performance-markers.

Any update on this? AdvancedMarkerView are a breakthrough in performance and are highly useful.

[flogy]

Would be interested in this too.

[armando-ota]

Any example of how to use it as plain JS in angular component ?

[torusservices]

Bump, please! This is very important especially when needing to define colors for the markers. As per the previous question, how did you guys manage to get around this? It's a shame that angular and google maps are not jelling well together you would think that the two teams would communicate.

@amysorto How likely is it that a minor issue gets addressed by Angular Devs? If not very likely, can there be a debate to raise the priority? Mind you the issue has been opened a year ago

[torusservices]

@crisbeto do you think this can be looked at? Is there any way we could help?

[amysorto]

I'll raise the priority to a P3, although we don't plan to work on this feature soon at this time. Although we would happily accept a community PR for this.

Hi I can take care of it if you don't mind. @amysorto

@OgiSss @crisbeto thx for the advanced marker support.

MapAdvancedMarker is missing icon => found it: content, tip: read google docs regarding advanced markers :-)

Support for Advanced Markers with Marker Clusterer is currently missing. This is related to https://github.com/angular/components/issues/29187 and https://github.com/angular/components/issues/23695.

As of February 21st, 2024 (v3.56), google.maps.Marker is deprecated. We encourage you to transition to the new google.maps.marker.AdvancedMarkerElement class. Advanced markers provide substantial improvements over the legacy google.maps.Marker class. The minimum version of the Maps JavaScript API with google.maps.marker.AdvancedMarkerElement is 3.53.2. At this time, google.maps.Marker is not scheduled to be discontinued.
