Markers may not show up on Google Maps for a few reasons: the map layer without markers is selected, browser issues, or markers were not properly coded on custom maps. To fix this, try switching to a different map layer (e.g., from satellite to terrain), clear your browser's cache and cookies, or review the code for errors if you're working on a custom map project. Ensuring you're using the latest version of your browser can also resolve display issues.
