Earlier Example usage

Using a simpler case and only chancing color
Using the buttons in lower right, add, then update the marker (toggling between colors). On each update that enables, then disables tracksViewChanges the marker iconView will disappear, then re-appear on screen. Slow down the video (scrub it), and you will notice that you can see through the square marker between each update.
