Marker Layer

You can add single point features - including arbitrary widgets - to maps using MarkerLayer and Markers.

No more image only markers! Unlike other popular mapping libraries, we allow usage of any widget as the marker.

A variety of Markers on a rotated map

MarkerLayer(
  markers: [
    Marker(
      point: LatLng(30, 40),
      width: 80,
      height: 80,
      child: FlutterLogo(),
    ),
  ],
),

Excessive use of markers may create performance issues.

Consider using a clustering plugin to merge nearby markers together, reducing the work that needs to be done when rendering: Marker Clustering.

Alignment

The marker widget will be centered over the geographic coordinate by default. However, this can be changed with the alignment argument, which aligns the widget relative to the point.

The center of rotation when rotate is true will be the point.

The default alignment for all Markers within a MarkerLayer can be set by changing the same property on the MarkerLayer.

Rotation

It is possible to enable the Marker to automatically counter-rotate to the camera's rotation, to ensure it remains facing upwards, via the rotate argument.

The default alignment for all Markers within a MarkerLayer can be set by changing the same property on the MarkerLayer.

There is no built-in support to rotate markers to a specific degree. However, this is easy to implement through a rotating widget, such as Transform.rotate.

Handling Gestures

There is no built-in support to handle gestures on Markers, such as taps. However, this is easy to implement using a standard GestureDetector.
