How to Customize Google Maps Markers
You don’t manually configure markers in Div-idy. Just tell Google where the markers are and what you want them to look or act like—Div-idy builds them automatically.
Quick Answer
To customize Google Maps markers in Div-idy, simply list the marker locations in your prompt and describe the marker style or behavior. Div-idy handles marker creation, icons, and interactions automatically.

- Omaha, NE
