googleMap marker rotation position changes

Question

I am using overlay as marker, and here is my below code which I created.

Answer 1

Set your circle so it is centered on the position of where you want the marker. It is 20x20, so center it at 10,10:

function Label(opt_options) {
  this.setValues(opt_options);
  var div = this.div_ = document.createElement('div');
  div.style.cssText = 'width: 20px; height: 20px; border-radius: 100%; position: absolute;' +
    'background-color: #8dc73f; ';
};

//

Label.prototype.draw = function() {
  var projection = this.getProjection();
  var position = projection.fromLatLngToDivPixel(this.get('position'));

  var div = this.div_;
  div.style.left = position.x - 10 + 'px';
  div.style.top = position.y - 10 + 'px';
  div.style.display = 'block';
};

Then set the anchor appropriately (at its center as well so it can rotate and still be in the center of the circle).
