AngularJS Google Map (ng-map) icon url not working

Question

For some reason my markers are not showing when i use an absolute url instead of a relative one.

In my view i use:

<marker ... icon="{url: '{{markerSrc}}'}"></marker>

When i do this (in my controller):

$scope.markerSrc = "/images/marker.png";

everything works and the icon is shown

but when i do:

$scope.markerSrc = "http://complete/path/to/marker/images/marker.png";

i get an error:

GET http://localhost:9000/%7Burl:%20'http://complete/path/to/marker/images/marker.png'%7D 404 (Not Found)

i tried different methods like

<marker ... icon="{url: "'{{markerSrc}}'" }"></marker>
<marker ... icon="{url: "{{markerSrc}}" }"></marker>
<marker ... icon="{url: {{markerSrc}} }"></marker>

but none seem to work...

Answer 1

Try to change marker directive icon attribute syntax from:

<marker ... icon="{url: '{{markerSrc}}'}"></marker>

to

<marker ... icon="{{markerSrc}}"></marker>

Example

var app = angular.module('appMaps', ['ngMap']);
app.controller('mapCtrl', function ($scope) {
    

    $scope.cities = [
       { id: 1, name : "Brisbane", location: [-33.867396, 151.206854] },
        { id: 2, name: "Sydney", location: [-27.46758, 153.027892] },
        { id: 3, name: "Perth", location: [-31.953159, 115.849915] }
    ];


    $scope.markerSrc = "http://maps.google.com/mapfiles/marker.png";

});
