Remove HeatmapLayer from google maps

Question

I\'m using the HeatmapLayer api https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/layers#JSHeatMaps

I generate the heatmap like this:

heatm         


        

Answer 1

The docs suggest you can remove a layer by calling heatmap.setMap(null)

Update

In your jsfiddle you were declaring your heatmap variable in the scope of each click event. To make your code work I moved the heatmap variable to exist globally, and then checked to make sure that a new heatmap did not overwrite an existing one.

Here is your updated jsfiddle
