Specify the z-index of Google Map Markers

Question

I am having a Google Map with lots of markers added using websockets. I am using custom marker images based on data availability. I want to make sure the newest marker stays

Answer 1

Problem solved. Just set the zValue to 999 (I'm guessing higher will bring it more to the top) and it should come to the top. I guess the default is below 999:

var zValue;

if (someCondition) {
    zValue = 999;
}

var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
    map: map,
    position: {lat: lat, lng: lng},
    title: titleString,
    icon: image,
    zIndex: zValue
});
