Google Maps toggle markers

  • I am showing multiple markers on frontend using ACF with custom post type (location). There are two types of location and I need to show or hide each location type with button/checkbox.

    I tried doing with jQuery but as the map is not part of the DOM, it did not work.

    My marker code is like the following

    <div class="marker <?php echo $type; ?>" data-lat="<?php echo $location['lat']; ?>" data-lng="<?php echo $location['lng']; ?>" data-img="<?php echo $type_icon; ?>">
        <div class="inside-marker">
    	    <h5 style="text-decoration:none"><?php echo $title; ?></h5>
    	    <?php
    	        if($client_type) {
    	         echo 'Client Type: '.$client_type.'<br>';   
    	        }
    	        if($project_end_date) {
    	         echo 'Project Ended: '.$project_end_date;       
    	        }
    	    ?>
    	</div>
    </div>
