jQuery Google Maps Adding a Marker on Click - google-maps

Question

i am using gmaps.js (https://github.com/hpneo/gmaps)
I want to add a Marker on the map on clicking a location on the map. If a user clicks on a second location the previous marker should move to the new place or be removed and replaced with a new marker.
Now sure if this is supported by the Lib.

$(document).ready(function () {
var map = new GMaps({
div: '#map',
lat: 13.00487,
lng: 77.576729,
zoom: 13
});
map.addMarker({
lat: 13.00487,
lng: 77.576729,
title: 'Mink7',
infoWindow: {
content: 'HTML Content'
}
});
/*
GMaps.geolocate({
success: function (position) {
map.setCenter(position.coords.latitude, position.coords.longitude);
},
error: function (error) {
alert('Geolocation failed: ' + error.message);
},
not_supported: function () {
alert("Your browser does not support geolocation");
},
always: function () {
//alert("Done!");
}
});
*/
});

Answer 1

google.maps.event.addListener(_map, "click", function(event) {
if(_marker) {
_marker.setPosition(event.latLng);
} else {
_marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: event.latLng,
map: _map,
title: "myTitle"
});
}
});
Just saw the other answer, use this if you dont want to create a marker everytime..
_marker should be a global variable.

Answer 2

Personally, I do it using a global variable for the marker (or an array if I need more markers and I want to access them later), so that I can delete it and recreate it somewhere else.
// instantiate your var map
// ...
google.maps.event.addListener(map, "click", function(event) {
if(markermap) {
markermap.setMap(null);
}
markermap = new google.maps.Marker({
position: event.latLng,
map: myMap,
title: "myTitle"
});
});
