Google Map: disable the default marker

Question

I am using Google map to display the location of the buses and I have created custom Info window to replace the marker in Google map but I am getting it above the default one how can I disable the default one? Is it possiable to show all marker's info windows all the time without the need to touch them?

I appreciate any help.

Try this:

marker.setIcon(BitmapDescriptorFactory.fromResource(R.drawable.UrMarkerIcon));
