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

You have to set the marker option "optimized" to false in combination with the zIndex option.

var marker=new google.maps.Marker({
      position:pin2,
      optimized: false,
      zIndex:99999999
});

This should solve your problem.
