Gmaps4rails highlight current marker

Question

I want to show several Shops "nearby" the main Shop that the user is currently looking at. The markers have a different picture which is implemented via the marker_picture method in the Shop class. Now I want to use a bigger marker image for the "current" Shop - How should I do this?

It seems that gmaps4rails gem assumes that the same picture should be used each time for the same object.

(An example: We have two Stores, Store_A and Store_B. In the view "show" Store_A, Store_A should have the picture "accepts_credit_card_big.png", Store_B "only_cash_small.png"; on the other hand when I am accessing the page for Store_B, it should be the picture "accepts_credit_card_small.png for Shop_A and "only_cash_big.png" for Shop_B. I hope this makes clearer what I want)

Answer 1

It can be done with Javascript manipulation, this also seems to be the suggested way (see comment)
