Introduction

You can specify an image instead of the default marker in Google Maps.

Description

Follow my Google Maps Part-1 ,Part-2 and Part-3 blogs before you go through the Part-4.

Steps

Create a Controller action method named "Icon" in the same Controller class named "HomeController.cs". 
  1. using System;  
  2. using System.Collections.Generic;  
  3. using System.Linq;  
  4. using System.Web;  
  5. using System.Web.Mvc;  
  6.   
  7. namespace SatyaGoogleMapBootstrapMVC.Controllers  
  8. {  
  9.     public class HomeController : Controller  
  10.     {  
  11.         //  
  12.         // GET: /Home/  
  13.   
  14.         public ActionResult Index()  
  15.         {  
  16.             return View();  
  17.         }  
  18.         public ActionResult Details()  
  19.         {  
  20.             return View();  
  21.         }  
  22.         public ActionResult Animate()  
  23.         {  
  24.             return View();  
  25.         }  
  26.         public ActionResult Icon()  
  27.         {  
  28.             return View();  
  29.         }  
  30.     }  
  31. } 
 Then, create a View named "Icon.cshtml".
  1. @{  
  2.     ViewBag.Title = "Satyaprakash Google Map Icon";  
  3. }  
  4.   
  5. <title>@ViewBag.Title</title>  
  6.   
  7. <h2 style="background-color: Yellow;color: Blue; text-align: center; font-style: oblique">Satyaprakash's Google Map Icon Using MVC and BOOTSTRAP</h2>  
  8. <fieldset>  
  9.     <legend style="font-family: Arial Black; color: blue; font-size: large;">Check Google Map Icon</legend>  
  10.     <meta charset="utf-8">  
  11.     <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">  
  12.     <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.7/css/bootstrap.min.css">  
  13.     <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.2.1/jquery.min.js"></script>  
  14.     <script src="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.7/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>  
  15.   
  16.     <div id="map" style="width:100%;height:500px"></div>  
  17.     <script>  
  18.         function myMap() {  
  19.             var mapCanvas = document.getElementById("map");  
  20.             var myCenter = new google.maps.LatLng(20.296100, 85.824500);  
  21.             var mapOptions = { center: myCenter, zoom: 12 };  
  22.             var map = new google.maps.Map(mapCanvas, mapOptions);  
  23.             var marker = new google.maps.Marker({  
  24.                 position: myCenter,  
  25.                 icon: "Flag.png"  
  26.             });  
  27.             marker.setMap(map);  
  28.         }  
  29.     </script>  
  30.   
  31.     <script src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=put_your_key&callback=myMap"></script>  
  32.   
  33. </fieldset>  
  34. <footer>  
  35.     <p style="background-color: Yellow; font-weight: bold; color:blue; text-align: center; font-style: oblique">© @DateTime.Now.ToLocalTime()</p> @*Add Date Time*@  
  36. </footer> 
Here, I set my own image file instead of default Google Maps marker.
  1. var marker = new google.maps.Marker({  
  2.                 position: myCenter,  
  3.                 icon: "Flag.png"  
  4.             }); 
  
OUTPUT

Desktop View
