# apex:mapMarker

Defines a marker to be displayed at a location on an `<apex:map>`.

**Note:** This component must be enclosed within an `<apex:map>` component. You can add up to 100 `<apex:mapMarker>` components to a single map.

## Map of Contacts for an Account

```apex
<apex:page standardController="Account">

  <!-- This page must be accessed with an Account Id in the URL. For example: 
       https://MyDomainName--c.vf.force.com/apex/NearbyContacts?id=001D000000JRBet -->
  
  <apex:pageBlock >
    <apex:pageBlockSection title="Contacts For {! Account.Name }">
    
     <apex:dataList value="{! Account.Contacts }" var="contact">
       <apex:outputText value="{! contact.Name }" />
     </apex:dataList> 
    
    </apex:pageBlockSection>
  </apex:pageBlock>
   
  <apex:map width="600px" height="400px" mapType="roadmap"
    center="{!Account.BillingStreet},{!Account.BillingCity},{!Account.BillingState}">

    <apex:repeat value="{! Account.Contacts }" var="contact">
    <apex:mapMarker title="{! contact.Name }"
    position="{!contact.MailingStreet},{!contact.MailingCity},{!contact.MailingState}"
    />
    </apex:repeat>

  </apex:map>

</apex:page>
```

## Attributes

|Attribute Name|Attribute Type|Description|Required?|API Version|Access|
|--------------|--------------|-----------|---------|-----------|------|
|`icon`|String|An absolute or fully qualified URL of the icon to be displayed for this marker. If you use images from a static resource, use the URLFOR() function to obtain the image URL.| |34.0||
|`id`|String|An identifier that allows other components in the page to reference this component.| |32.0|global|
|`position`|Object|Specifies the location of the marker. There are several ways to define the location: A string representing an address. For example, "1 Market Street, San Francisco, CA". The address is automatically geocoded to determine its actual latitude and longitude. A string representing a JSON object with `latitude` and `longitude` attributes that specify location coordinates. For example, "{latitude: 37.794, longitude: -122.395}". An Apex map object of type `Map<String, Double>`, with `latitude` and `longitude` keys to specify location coordinates. **Note:** You can have up to 10 geocoded address lookups per map. Lookups for both the `center` attribute of the `<apex:map>` component and the `position` attribute of the `<apex:mapMarker>` component count against this limit. To display more markers, provide `position` values that don't require geocoding. Locations that exceed the geocoding limit are skipped.|Yes|32.0||
|`rendered`|Boolean|A Boolean value that specifies whether the component is rendered on the page. If not specified, this value defaults to `true`.| |32.0||
|`title`|String|Text to display when the user's cursor moves over the marker. That is, when the marker's mouseover event is triggered.| |32.0||
