When adding a marker to a google v3 map, I want to automatically begin dragging it. The click event that adds the marker is already on the canvas, and so I want the same click event that adds the marker to also act as a drag start. Very similar to how it's done when adding markers to a Google MyMaps map (though I'm pretty sure that still uses V2).

Is this possible, or do I have to add the marker, then make it follow the mouse around until the user clicks again, then drop?

Add "draggable: true," to the marker's options.

Example:

marker = new google.maps.Marker({ draggable: true, position: somepoint, }); marker.setMap(map);

Not sure if adding draggable: true to the marker is what your looking fOr or if it is beyond that? Hope this helps

Marker is draggable. It just takes 2 clicks. 1 to add marker, second to start dragging it. Want to immediately drag on first click.
