Solution

You may store the markers somewhere (e.g. in a object) and use the latLng as key:

     var markers = {};

 /*......*/

     markers[myLatlng] = new google.maps.Marker({
                position: myLatlng,
                map: map,
                title: 'Hello World!'
            });

 /*.......*/

    function removeMarker(lat, long) {
        try {
            markers[new google.maps.LatLng(lat, long)].setMap(null);
        } catch (e) {}
    }

OTHER TIPS

You have to store marker in another object with reference of your latitude and longitude.

var MARKERS = [];//custom object

/** add marker **/
var myLatlng = new google.maps.LatLng(-25.363882, 131.044922);                                           
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
                position: myLatlng,
                map: map,
                title: 'Hello World!'
            });
//add marker to MARKERS object
MARKERS[myLatlng] = marker; 

/** remove marker **/    
function remove()
        {    
              var myLatlng = new google.maps.LatLng(-25.363882, 131.044922);           
              MARKERS[myLatlng].setMap(null);
        }
