If you look at a fragments lifecycle you can see that the view may be destroyed while the fragment still lives. It can also recreate the view before the fragment is destroyed. This just means you should cleanup and create all markers in the onCreateView and onDestroyView callbacks instead. If you use those callbacks for marker manipulation you should be fine.
