Google Map Component Marker

Ignition

Hi All,

I've been trying to figure out how to change the appearance of the markers on the Google map component. Today I saw this pop up in the designer console:

19:23:21.284 [Browser Thread: 478e987f-ea38-444b-8563-665a8aaaf54b] WARN Perspective.Designer.Workspace -- level: WARNING
message: "As of February 21st, 2024, google.maps.Marker is deprecated. Please use google.maps.marker.AdvancedMarkerElement instead.

Maybe this is my problem, maybe not. But I don't see any way to use advanced markers. Has anyone else figured out how to use advanced markers?

I don´t know if those in Ignition Perspective are advanced markers already, but I can see you have many options to customize them.

I agree, there are a lot of options to customize a marker. I've been trying to change the way the marker looks. The default marker looks like this when configured as a symbol:

I'd really like to change that to a custom icon, but I can't get any kind of custom icon to display at all. I'd settle for changing it to this symbol:

But I can only get that to display if I give it a static location. As soon as I configure the location of the maker to track with my geolocation, it switches back to the black up-facing 'V'.

Very frustrating.......
