Google Maps API v3: How to remove all markers?

Question

In Google Maps API v2, if I wanted to remove all the map markers, I could simply do:

map.clearOverlays();

How do I do this in Google Maps A

Answer 1

The following from Anon works perfectly, although with flickers when repeatedly clearing the overlays.

Simply do the following:

I. Declare a global variable:

var markersArray = [];

II. Define a function:

function clearOverlays() {
  if (markersArray) {
    for (i in markersArray) {
      markersArray[i].setMap(null);
    }
  }
}

III. Push markers in the 'markerArray' before calling the following:

markersArray.push(marker);
google.maps.event.addListener(marker,"click",function(){});

IV. Call the clearOverlays() function wherever required.

That's it!!

Hope that will help you.
