Make markers clickable

The following example shows how to make interactive markers that display popovers when clicked.

JavaScript

async function init() {
    // Request needed libraries.
    const { Map3DElement, Marker3DInteractiveElement, PopoverElement } =
        await google.maps.importLibrary('maps3d');

    const map = new Map3DElement({
        center: { lat: 37.469, lng: -122.1074, altitude: 0 },
        tilt: 67.5,
        range: 45000,
        mode: 'HYBRID',
    });

    map.mode = 'SATELLITE';

    for (const position of positions) {
        const popover = new PopoverElement({
            open: true,
        });

        popover.append(position.name);

        const interactiveMarker = new Marker3DInteractiveElement({
            position,
            gmpPopoverTargetElement: popover,
        });

        map.append(interactiveMarker);
        map.append(popover);
    }

    document.body.append(map);
}

const positions = [
    {
        lat: 37.50981071450543,
        lng: -122.20280629839084,
