Change Google Map Marker Color To A Color Of My Choice

Is there anyway to change from the default red marker color to a hexidecimal color of my choice? I've been looking all over stack overflow and I haven't seem to find an answer. Thi

Solution 1:

One option would be to define an SVG symbol for the marker icon. SVG icon colors can be set in their constructor.

functionpinSymbol(color) {
    return {
        path: 'M 0,0 C -2,-20 -10,-22 -10,-30 A 10,10 0 1,1 10,-30 C 10,-22 2,-20 0,0 z',
        fillColor: color,
        fillOpacity: 1,
        strokeColor: '#000',
        strokeWeight: 2,
        scale: 1
    };
}

Then use it like this:

var marker1 = new google.maps.Marker({
  map: map,
  position: new google.maps.LatLng(47.5, -122.0),
  icon: pinSymbol('green')
});

code snippet:

functioninitialize() {
  var latlng = new google.maps.LatLng(47.605, -122.2);
  var myOptions = {
    zoom: 10,
    center: latlng,
    mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
  };
  var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map_canvas"),
    myOptions);
  var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
    map: map,
    position: latlng,
    icon: pinSymbol('red')
  });

  var marker1 = new google.maps.Marker({
    map: map,
    position: new google.maps.LatLng(47.5, -122.0),
    icon: pinSymbol('#7CFC00')
  });
  var marker2 = new google.maps.Marker({
    map: map,
    position: new google.maps.LatLng(47.6, -122.3),
    icon: pinSymbol('orange')
  });
  var marker3 = new google.maps.Marker({
    map: map,
    position: new google.maps.LatLng(47.7, -122.1),
    icon: pinSymbol('yellow')
  });
}

functionpinSymbol(color) {
  return {
    path: 'M 0,0 C -2,-20 -10,-22 -10,-30 A 10,10 0 1,1 10,-30 C 10,-22 2,-20 0,0 z',
    fillColor: color,
    fillOpacity: 1,
    strokeColor: '#000',
    strokeWeight: 2,
    scale: 1
  };
}

google.maps.event.addDomListener(window, 'load', initialize);

html,
body,
#map_canvas {
  height: 500px;
  width: 500px;
  margin: 0px;
  padding: 0px
}

<scriptsrc="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=AIzaSyCkUOdZ5y7hMm0yrcCQoCvLwzdM6M8s5qk"></script><divid="map_canvas"style="width:750px; height:450px; border: 2px solid #3872ac;"></div>

Solution 2:

the marker don't have a color property/attribute .. the markers use icon so you can change color changing icon

this is from google-maps dev

var image = 'https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/examples/full/images/beachflag.png';
var beachMarker = new google.maps.Marker({
   position: {lat: -33.890, lng: 151.274},
   map: map,
   icon: image
 });
