# Adding a custom button to my map
You can use the map instance to add custom buttons to your map:
<template>
<GMapMap
:center="{ lat: 51.093048, lng: 6.84212 }"
:zoom="7"
ref="myMapRef"
:disableDefaultUI="true"
/>
</template>
<script>
import { ref, watch } from 'vue'
function addMyButton(map) {
const controlUI = document.createElement('button')
controlUI.title = 'Click to zoom the map'
const controlText = document.createElement('div')
controlText.innerHTML = `Center`
controlUI.appendChild(controlText)
controlUI.addEventListener('click', () => {
map.setZoom(map.getZoom() + 1)
})
map.controls[google.maps.ControlPosition.RIGHT_BOTTOM].push(controlUI) // eslint-disable-line no-undef
}
export default {
setup() {
const myMapRef = ref()
watch(myMapRef, (googleMap) => {
if (googleMap) {
googleMap.$mapPromise.then((map) => {
addMyButton(map)
})
}
})
return {
myMapRef,
}
},
}
</script>
