Is it possible to create markers along a country's border in Google Maps?
All the posts I've been able to find only give advice on how to create markers along the roads.

here is a sample java script code that display a marker on google map in this sample code you must set the center of the marker to lat and long of the needed border
function BorderMap() {
var myLatLng = {lat: 9.005401, lng: 38.763611};
var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map'), {
zoom: 4,
center: myLatLng
});
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: myLatLng,
map: map,
title: 'Hello Addis!'
});
}
