Create markers with HTML

You can use custom HTML and CSS to create 3D markers with high visual impact, that can feature interactivity and animation. All Marker3DElement instances are added to the DOM as HTML elements, which you can access using the Marker3DElement property, and manipulate in the same way as any other DOM element.

Basic marker

This example map shows creating a basic custom marker declaratively.

<html>
<head>
    <title>3D Map - Declarative</title>
    <style>
        html,
        body {
            height: 100%;
            margin: 0;
            padding: 0;
        }
        gmp-map-3d {
            height: 100%;
        }
    </style>
</head>
<body>
    <gmp-map-3d center="37.4239163, -122.0947209, 0" tilt="67.5" range="1000" mode="hybrid">
        <gmp-marker-3d position="37.4239163, -122.0947209,50" altitude-mode="absolute" extruded="true" label="Basic Marker"></gmp-marker-3d>
    </gmp-map-3d>
    <script async
        src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=YOUR_KEY&v=beta&libraries=maps3d"></script>
</body>
</html>
