[Google Maps API v3] Can't see marker titles on Android 2.1 Browser

[bburns]

Hi,

I've recently been working with the maps api and have it linked with a
database to place markers at several known locations. These markers
all have titles that convey important marker specific information. I
am able to view the titles (via hover over) on firefox/IE/Chrome, but
I cannot see them on the Android 2.1 (Nexus One) browser. I have tried
making the markers clickable, etc. Is there a certain trick to do
this?

Thanks.

Hey Brennan,

Can you share a link to your test app which replicates this behavior?  It'd be difficult for us to troubleshoot otherwise.

Thanks!

No, there is not. Touch screen devices don't have 'mouseover' event
or :hover pseudoclass because there is no pointer at all.

You could use 'touchstart' and 'touchend' events to display a custom
tooltip but the tooltip would be shown behind users finger.

Touch screen devices need a page design made specifically for them.
