# Marker Layer

You can add markers to maps to display specific points to users using `MarkerLayer()`.

```dart
FlutterMap(
    options: MapOptions(),
    children: [
        MarkerLayer(
            markers: [
                Marker(
                  point: LatLng(30, 40),
                  width: 80,
                  height: 80,
                  builder: (context) => FlutterLogo(),
                ),
            ],
        ),
    ],
),
```

{% hint style="warning" %}
Excessive use of markers or use of complex markers will create performance issues and lag/'jank' as the user interacts with the map. See [Broken mention](broken://pages/8uYmNyVwhN9XeXr5DcWy) for more information.

If you need to use a large number of markers, an existing [community maintained plugin (`flutter_map_marker_cluster`)](https://github.com/lpongetti/flutter_map_marker_cluster) might help.

## Markers (`markers`)

As you can see `MarkerLayerOptions()` accepts list of Markers which determines render widget, position and transformation details like size and rotation.
