Problem/Motivation

If you are using common maps view with Google map that has "markers", now it shows a Google Maps API deprecation warning:

As of February 21st, 2024, google.maps.Marker is deprecated. Please use google.maps.marker.AdvancedMarkerElement instead. Please see https://developers.google.com/maps/deprecations for deprecation details.

Steps to reproduce

common maps view with Google map that has "markers". Inspect with developer tool and check the console warnings.

Proposed resolution

As instructed by Google Maps API, replace google.maps.Marker with Advanced Markers (google.maps.marker.AdvancedMarkerElement). The google.maps.Marker is considered to be deprecated in Google Maps Javascript API v3.56+.

Note that there's another report of same issue in a different module: #3291561: google.maps.event.addDomListener() is deprecated → . However, the solution there is not acceptable - it simply fix Google Maps Javascript API version at 3.55, It might work for now for surpressing the warning, but eventually the code will break (maybe in 1 year).

Change the code where it uses google.maps.Marker.
