Angular-google-maps: Cannot rotate map marker

Created on 21 Nov 2017 · 13Comments · Source: SebastianM/angular-google-maps

Issue description
We show an arrow for the heading when a user is moving, this is a prohibitive pain in the butt, because we have to have an image for every arrow position we could want to show.

Steps to reproduce and a minimal demo of the problem
Have a heading that isn't 0, try to show this heading with an arrow...

Current behavior
No way to specify heading of marker

Expected/desired behavior
Some way to specify heading of marker

angular2 & angular-google-maps version
Whatever's the latest right now

Other information
This would be cool

@KthProg No, there are no updates, as you can see by the fact that there are no comments except yours. When there are updates, I'm sure nobody will keep them chained in the basement, but will post about it. As you've commented, you're already subscribed, which mean you'll get an email when there are updates.

I also would like an update. Is there any way you might update your updates or give us an update on any updates currently in progress?

But seriously, it's such a fundamental feature of a Marker, that I am surprised that it wasn't considered from the beginning. That oversight alone made me drop the library from my project.

@betaversionsoftware I don't think rotating a map marker is a "fundamental feature of a marker". I've never seen a rotated marker on the Google Map in my whole life. This project is open source; you're free to contribute and/or change its content to your liking.

Google Maps by default allows for you to rotate a Symbol:

The below Pull Request will open up that support in AGM
