Moving the google map according to the marker

Question

I want to move the google map according to the marker. I set the defaultCenter but when i got my current position with lat and lng marker is move correctly but google map is not moving according to the marker.

Here is the code

import { GoogleMap, withScriptjs, withGoogleMap, Marker } from "react-google-maps";
import { useSelector } from 'react-redux';

function Map(props) {
    const { latitude, longitude } = useSelector(state => state.location);
    const [current, setCurrent] = React.useState({ lat: 42.360081, lng: 7.665440 });


    return (
        <GoogleMap defaultZoom={4}
            defaultCenter={{ lat: (latitude ? latitude : current.lat), lng: (longitude ? longitude : current.lng) }}
        >
            {props.isMarkerShown && <Marker position={{ lat: (latitude ? latitude : current.lat), lng: (longitude ? longitude : current.lng) }} />}
        </GoogleMap>
    )
}


const WrappedMap = withScriptjs(withGoogleMap(Map));

const App = () => {
    return (
        <WrappedMap
            isMarkerShown={true}
            googleMapURL={`https://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?key=[API_KEY]-e2c2H2jAcFw`}
            loadingElement={<div style={{ height: `100%` }} />}
            containerElement={<div style={{ height: `75vh` }} />}
            mapElement={<div style={{ height: `100%` }} />}
        />
    )
}

export default App;

Try assigning new window.google.maps.Map to a variable map and then add setMarker(createMarker(map)) in your createGoogleMap function.

Now the marker is placed on the map, and the map is centered on its position because you added the same coordinates.

See the code below:

googleMapScript.addEventListener("load", () => {
    setGoogleMap(createGoogleMap());
});

...

let createGoogleMap = () => {
    const map = new window.google.maps.Map(googleMapRef.current, {
        zoom: 16,
        center: {
            lat: 43.642567,
            lng: -79.387054,
        },
        // disableDefaultUI: true,
    });

    setMarker(createMarker(map));
}


let createMarker = (map) => {
    const marker = new window.google.maps.Marker({
        position: { lat: 43.642567, lng: -79.387054 },
        map: map,
    })
    return marker
}

Hope this helps!
