I am using Google map api V3, and in my application i m making gradable marker. Every thing is working fine except the marker icon while dragging.
What happens in Google Map V2 was it changes marker icon automatically when it was being dragged but in Google Map V3 when dragging the marker its icon doesn't change like it used to change in V2.
The answer is simple: in V3 they removed it, since they considered the animation to be of little use in mobile devices. They are trying to aim this V3 release to be as lightweight as possible.

Is there any way to animate marker on google maps in flutter like the native android ????
I'm using google_maps_flutter. It gives us a set of markers to set. But when am changing the coordinates of a marker it is simply being disappeared and appeared in the new place.
Solution! https://pub.dev/packages/flutter_animarker
It's works! You just need install one plugin.
I'm using glass development kit, and I'm trying to show a pin.
Is there a google map sample ready to use ?to add my pin.
I saw I can use MapView if it was for an android app but with GDK it doesn't seems to work.
The position of the pin will be auto determinated by the network.
Static Maps is the thing you're looking for.
It allows you to embed a Google Maps image on your application.
You can easily download the content and apply it to an ImageView.
Google recently published a new Google Maps Lite wich can be directly used as a fragment. (sample code included)
Both method will allow you to drop pins on the map, without using the original MapView.
i have several questions about the blue dot that appears when i launch the google maps in the browser. I tried implementing the same by using the blue dot image as the icon property of the marker and changing the position of the marker in accordance with the current location. So when i do this its actually like the maps are refreshing where as in the google maps application the blue dot is moving smoothly(and that's very awesome). My question
is whether blue dot in google maps is implemented as a marker which changes its
position or is it an inbuilt property of google maps which we can use.
i am using google maps API v3 to do this.
Thanks for any information.
It's a marker with custom icon which is placed with HTML 5 position provided by most recent browsers.
When the position change, you can change marker position.

We're using the Google Maps API for Flash (v1.19a) and when we add a marker to it or an overlay, the map gets blurry...
Does anyone have a workaround for this?
In Google Maps API v2 we can set to marker an option bouncy:true. It adds to marker eye-candy ability - after dragging this marker, it is bouncing.
Is it possible to do in API v3 ?
Here's how you do it in V3
google.maps.event.addListener(marker, "dragend", function(){
marker.setAnimation(google.maps.Animation.BOUNCE);
});
I just had a quick look at the API v3 spec for Markers - it doesn't look like the 'bouncy' option is available right now but I wouldn't be surprised to see this get implemented into the v3 API at some point - it's still in Beta and bound to change quite a bit.
Here is a link to the API v3 Reference on the available Marker Options
If you really wanted the behavior in a V3 Map now you could tie an event to the 'dragend' method on the Marker Object. Have the function called alter the anchor point of the MarkerImage object - check out the MarkerImage object in the API too.
Well, I was looking for a way for implementing bouncy markers in V3 of google maps so that if we are showing a cluster of markers, the currently selected marker should be visible clearly.
We used the z-index property of the marker to set the z-index of the current marker at a relatively higher value than the rest.
