I am wanting to place multiple markers on a Google map, I then need the markers location to change/update, so I assume layers maybe the way forward. I have found this good below but still not working.
Could you guys take a quick look and give me some pointers/advice.

/* The height is 400 pixels */
width: 100%;
/* The width is the width of the web page */

const marker = new google.maps.Marker({

const infowindow = new google.maps.InfoWindow({

}
function closeOtherInfo() {
if (InforObj.length > 0) {
/* detach the info-window from the marker ... undocumented in the API docs */
InforObj[0].set("marker", null);
/* and close it */
InforObj[0].close();
/* blank the array */
InforObj.length = 0;
}
}
function initMap() {
map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map'), {
zoom: 4,

addMarkerInfo();

I am unsure what the issue is as it looks ok.
