    How to move markers on a google map api without clicking on any object ?

    The above can be achieved with simple logic . ie update the marker position after a particular time ( Let say 1 second in our example )

    The following HTML and jquery code will help to achieve the moving marker functionality.

    Note : You will require a google map API key to pass in the script.

    <hmtl>
        <head>
            <script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.9.0.js"></script>
            
            <!-- Plz Your unique google map api key -->
            <script src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?v=3&&key=API-KEY" type="text/javascript"></script>
    
            <style type="text/css">
                #map{
                    width: 100%;
                    height: 900px;
                    border: 0px;
                    padding: 0px;
                }
            </style>
        </head>
    
            <body>
    
                <section class="mappageList">
                    <div>
    
                        <div class="google-mapsPage">
    
                            <div class="map-responsive">
                               <!-- Define the div area on which the map will be loaded. -->
                                <div id="map"></div>
    
                            </div>
    
                        </div>
