    I am using the map and all is working mostly. My problem is how can I change the map marker based on the data feed?

    I am getting my data as latlng = [32.123, 80.123], name = "KDAY", color = "green"

    I can get the marker to show up in the correct place and the name set properly the next thing I need to do is set the color of the marker based on the color field. I have three different colors that I need to be able to use.

    Any ideas?

    Hi Chuck,

    The problem here is to set the marker's color because in the markerCreated haven't it. But we will fix this issue for the next official release of the Kendo UI.

    Now you can set the color only with class. For other two properties you can use titleField and locationField. You can examine this example: http://trykendoui.telerik.com/@germanov/eYaY/3

    Hristo,

     Was this functionality part of a release yet? If so can you send me a link to an example on setting a markers color.

     

    Thanks,

    Hi,

    The markerActivate event will fire when a marker DOM element has been created.
    It can be used to change sprites, styles and content on per-element basis.

    I hope this helps.

    Hi Chuck - your solution is actually what we need but the link is no longer working. I know it's been a couple of years now. Is it ok if you post again your solution.

    Thanks,

    Gerber

    Hello, Gerber,

    We have a Knowledge Base article with a runnable example which uses the suggested approach - adding a handler to the markerActivate event and customizing the marker dynamically:

    https://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/knowledge-base/map-marker-color-from-field

    Please check it out and let me know if you need further help with the suggested approach.

    Kind Regards,
