    <script>
      var map;
      function initMap() {



      var myOptions = {
          zoom: 8,
          center: {lat: -34.397, lng: 150.644},
          mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
      };
      var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map"), myOptions);


      //### Add a button on Google Maps ...
      var controlMarkerUI = document.createElement('DIV');
      controlMarkerUI.style.cursor = 'pointer';
      controlMarkerUI.style.backgroundImage = "url(http://localhost/marker.png)";
      controlMarkerUI.style.height = '28px';
      controlMarkerUI.style.width = '25px';
      controlMarkerUI.style.top = '11px';
      controlMarkerUI.style.left = '120px';
      controlMarkerUI.title = 'Click to set the map to Home';
      //myLocationControlDiv.appendChild(controlUI);

      map.controls[google.maps.ControlPosition.LEFT_TOP].push(controlMarkerUI);

      //### Add a button on Google Maps ...
      var controlTrashUI = document.createElement('DIV');
      controlTrashUI.style.cursor = 'pointer';
      controlTrashUI.style.backgroundImage = "url(http://localhost/trash.png)";
      controlTrashUI.style.height = '28px';
      controlTrashUI.style.width = '25px';
      controlTrashUI.style.top = '11px';
      controlTrashUI.style.left = '150px';
      controlTrashUI.title = 'Click to set the map to Home';
      //myLocationControlDiv.appendChild(controlUI);

      map.controls[google.maps.ControlPosition.LEFT_TOP].push(controlTrashUI);
}

    </script>
    <script src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=<PUT_YOUR_API-HERE>&callback=initMap"
    async defer></script>
  </body>
</html>
