Control marker visibility by zoom level

This example shows controlling marker visibility by zoom level. See the markers' visibility change (begin by zooming out):

Read the documentation.

TypeScript

const mapElement = document.querySelector('gmp-map')!;

    // Request needed libraries.
    const [{ AdvancedMarkerElement }] = await Promise.all([

    ]);

    const markerOptions = [

Clone Sample

Git and Node.js are required to run this sample locally. Follow these instructions to install Node.js and NPM. You will also need a Google Maps API key.

The following commands clone the repository, install dependencies, and copy the environment file. 

  git clone https://github.com/googlemaps-samples/js-api-samples.git
  cd js-api-samples
  npm i
  cp .env.template .env

Once you copy the environment file, make sure to open the .env file and replace <Insert your own development API key here> with your actual API key before starting the sample. 

  cd samples/advanced-markers-zoom
  npm start
