Markers are notes that are used to leave a message on the Maps. It indicates or marks a specific location with desired symbols on the Maps. It can be enabled by setting the visible property of the markerSettings to true.
Adding marker
The dataSource property of the markerSettings has a list of objects that contains the data for Markers. Using this property, any number of markers can be added to the shape layers. By default, it displays the markers based on the specified latitude and longitude in the given data source. Each data source object contains the following list of properties.
- label - Text that displays some information about the marker in text format.
- latitude - The latitude point which determines the X location of the marker.
- longitude - The longitude point which determines the Y location of the marker.
markerSettings is an Array property.

The Maps component supports the following marker shapes. To set the shape of the marker, the shape property in markerSettings is used.
- Balloon
- Circle
- Cross
- Diamond
- Image
- Rectangle
- Start
- Triangle
- VerticalLine
- HorizontalLine
Rendering Marker shape as image
To render a marker as an image in Maps, set the shape property of markerSettings as Image and specify the path of the image to imageUrl property. There is another way to render a marker as an image using the imageUrlValuePath property of the markerSettings. Bind the field name that contains the path of the image in the data source to the imageUrlValuePath property.
var map = new ej.maps.Maps({
layers: [{
shapeData: world_map,

Bind different colors and shapes to the marker from data source
Using the shapeValuePath and colorValuePath properties, apply the color and shape of the marker from the given data source. Bind the data source to the dataSource property of the markerSettings and set the field names that contains the shape and color values in the data source to the shapeValuePath and colorValuePath properties. A default marker object is represented by a balloon shape. To set various shapes to the marker object by using the shape property in markerSettings.
The following shapes are used for the marker object.
- Circle
- Rectangle
- Balloon
- Cross
- Polyline
- Diamond

</html>The data of the drag and dropped marker in the marker data source can be customized using the markerDragStart and markerDragEnd events. When you change the appropriate marker data, the tooltip and legend item text of that marker are automatically updated. The following properties are available in the event argument of the marker drag events.
| Argument Name | Description |
|---|---|
| dataIndex | It represents the index of the data of the dragged marker in the marker data source. |
| latitude | It represents the latitude coordinate point of the dragged marker. |
| longitude | It represents the longitude coordinate point for the dragged marker. |
| markerIndex | It represents the index of the marker setting. |
| layerIndex | It represents the index of the layer in which the marker belongs. |
| name | It represents the name of the event. |
| x | It represents the horizontal location of the mouse pointer on the map when the drag action is performed. |
| y | It represents the vertical location of the mouse pointer on the map when the drag action is performed. |
The following example shows how to use marker drag events to customize the data of the drag and dropped marker in the marker data source.
var map = new ej.maps.Maps({
legendSettings:{
visible:true,
type:'Markers',
shape:'Circle',
shapeWidth:10,

},
markerDragStart: function(args){
// When the marker begins to move on the map, the event is triggered.
},
markerDragEnd: function(args) {
// When the marker on the map stops dragging, the event is triggered.
var mapsInstance = document.getElementById('element').ej2_instances[0];
mapsInstance.layers[args.layerIndex].markerSettings[args.markerIndex].dataSource[args.dataIndex].name = 'Dragged Marker ' + (args.dataIndex + 1);

</html>Marker clustering
Maps support hiding and clustering markers when they overlap. The number on a cluster indicates how many overlapping markers it contains. When zooming into any cluster location on the map, the number on the cluster decreases, and individual markers become visible. When zooming out, the overlapping markers increase, causing them to cluster again, which increases the count on the cluster.
To enable clustering for markers within a layer, set the allowClustering property of markerClusterSettings in the layers to true. Customization of clustering can be done using the markerClusterSettings property.
var maps = new ej.maps.Maps({
useGroupingSeparator: true,

</html>Marker cluster expand
The cluster is formed by grouping an identical and non-identical marker from the surrounding area. By clicking on the cluster and setting the allowClusterExpand property in markerClusterSettings as true to expand the identical markers. If zoom in any of the locations of the cluster, the number on the cluster will decrease and the overlapping marker will be split into an individual marker on the map. When performing zoom out, it will increase the marker count and then cluster it again.

</html>Clustering markers within each marker group
Marker clustering can be enabled for each marker group in the map by using the clusterSettings property within the markerSettings property in the layers. This allows for individual customization of clusters for each marker group which group markers that are located near each other to reduce clutter and improve readability. When the allowClustering property is set to true, the markers within each group are clustered and visually represented as separate clusters. As users zoom in, the clusters expand to reveal individual markers, enabling more detailed exploration. Clusters can also be expanded manually by setting the allowClusterExpand property to true. The appearance of the clusters and their expansion behavior can be customized using the clusterSettings property, similar to the markerClusterSettings property, as explained in the sections above.
When the
clusterSettingsproperty is enabled for an individual marker group, themarkerClusterSettingsproperty within the layers becomes ineffective.
