Custom icon only works on ui-gmap-markers and not a singular marker

[intellix]

Trying to use a custom icon, but can only get it working when using <ui-gmap-markers>. I can see it working on your example, which is confusing as I don't see the difference/cause.

I've created a simple plnkr with both, which highlights the issue: http://plnkr.co/edit/6tKWteGE6iu0pEY9d21F?p=preview

If you set the icon inside options, it works for ui-gmap-marker: http://plnkr.co/edit/2JxtGRoc3jcbf4hM0AA8?p=preview

I can probably look at this, it's a simple model issue.

@solidspark thanks

+1, I am also seeing the icon attribute not working on the marker directive. I have to use options for it. A fix to bring the implementation back to matching the documentation is much appreciated.

wow, I wasted a lot of time on this. How do I vote that this is a priority?

[nmccready]

Why not just use markers?

[leocaseiro]

marker = 1
marker = 2+

Anyway, as I said before, set the icon inside options. If you just update the documentation, so that would be ok.

[krewmarco]

Yes, markers work great for this. I just couldn't find it in the docs.

I am sure this fix is dead simple; is anyone else still looking into the code base for this?

Problem code is either in here https://github.com/angular-ui/angular-google-maps/blob/master/src/coffee/directives/api/models/child/marker-child-model.coffee

or here

I don't really care whether custom icon path is defined in marker.icon or marker.option.icon.
It looks so trivial that this undocumented "feature" results in hours of

[nmccready]

lol, I am putting the lines out there so some one else can work on this besides me. So keep banging your head while you wait. Or attempt to solve the issue. I am just trying to help while many complain.

[nmccready]

While your at it document the problem on the wiki, and or website which you can contribute to.

[leocaseiro]

perhaps this issue can be closed

[nmccready]

I can make it work with singular, just got to do it. It's not hard , just gotta find the time.

[nmccready]

So leave it open as an enhancement.

Check your closing element its markers not marker :)
<ui-gmap-marker idKey="marker.id" coords="marker.coords" icon="marker.icon"></ui-gmap-markers>
