Question

Question: How can we add the default Google Maps markers to

Answer 1

This may not be entirely clear from the description in the Readme, but the maps argument is, in fact, the maps API object (and map is, of course, the current Google Map instance). Therefore, you should pass both to your method:

onGoogleApiLoaded={({map, maps}) => this.renderMarkers(map, maps)}

and use them:

renderMarkers(map, maps) {
  let marker = new maps.Marker({
    position: myLatLng,
    map,
    title: 'Hello World!'
  });
}
