Google Maps, is it possible to use a Material Icon as a map marker?

Is it possible to use the Material Icons in Flutter as Markers in a Flutter app with the GoogleMap widget?

Solution

  • If it's not too late: Yes, it is possible - but requires some steps: You draw an icon (which is basically a character within an icon font) on a Canvas, write the Canvas's content to PNG data and then instantiate a Marker with it. I actually wrote an article on how to do it.
