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

This was the most simple of all the solutions originally posted by YingYang Mar 11 '14 at 15:049 under the original response to the users original question

I am using his same solution 2.5 years later with google maps v3.18 and it works like a charm

markersArray.push(newMarker) ;
while(markersArray.length) { markersArray.pop().setMap(null); }

// No need to clear the array after that.
