Markers are notes used to leave some message on the Maps component. It indicates or marks a specific location with desired symbols on the maps.
There are two ways to set marker for map.
Marker and marker template
Adding marker objects to map.
The markerSettings.dataSource property has a list of objects that contains the data for Annotation.
By default, it displays the bound data at the specified latitude and longitude. The markerSettings.template
property is used for customizing the template for markers.
Note: markerSettings is an Array property. So we need to use Directives.

object contains the following list of properties.
label - Text that displays some information about the annotation in text format. latitude - Latitude point determine the Y-axis position of annotation. longitude - Longitude point determine the X-axis position of annotation.

</MapsComponent>, document.getElementById("maps"));The location on the map is marked by different marker shapes using shapeValuePath property in markerSettings. Based on the field name in the data source bind the value to the shapeValuePath property. Also, you can customize the marker shape color by binding the color value field name in the data source to the colorValuePath property in markerSettings.
A default marker object is represented by balloon shape. You can set various shapes to the marker object by using shape property in markerSettings. Also, you can change the shapes of the marker from the datasource.
The following shapes are used for the marker object.

By clicking on the cluster and setting allowClusterExpand property in markerClusterSettings as true to expand the identical markers. If you 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 you zoom out, it will increase the marker count and then cluster it again.

</MapsComponent>, document.getElementById("maps"));Maps provides support to hide and cluster marker when they overlap each other. The number on a cluster indicates how many overlapped markers it contains. If you zoom any of the cluster locations, the number on the cluster will decrease and you will begin to see the individual markers on the map. When zooming out, the overlapping marker will increase so that you can cluster it again and increase the count over the cluster.
Using the markerClusterSettings.allowClustering API, you can enable or disable this cluster support. The markerClusterSettings API also helps to customize clusters.
The MarkerClusterRendering event occurs when each cluster is rendered. You can also use this to customize the cluster. The markerClusterClick and markerClusterMouseMove events on mouse move and on clicking the cluster.
