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

To clear of all the overlays including polys, markers, etc...

simply use:

map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map_canvas"), myOptions);}

Here is a function that I wrote to do it form me on a map application:

  function clear_Map() {
    directionsDisplay = new google.maps.DirectionsRenderer();
    //var chicago = new google.maps.LatLng(41.850033, -87.6500523);
    var myOptions = {
        zoom: 8,
        mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP,
        center: HamptonRoads
    }

    map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map_canvas"), myOptions);
    directionsDisplay.setMap(map);
    directionsDisplay.setPanel(document.getElementById("directionsPanel"));
}
