I have not yet been able to find a good way to place labels on a map in the v3 API. The best thing I have found is this infobox thing:
 
I have managed to get some mediocre looking labels to display using it, but they obverlap each other when zoomed out.
 
Is there any way that I can put these infoboxes into a Marker Manager so that I can specify at what zoom scale the labels should display?
 
The old 'Elabels' from v2 could be put inside a marker manager, there is an example of it here:
 
Can the "infobox" be put inside the marker manger aswell?

Hello!

I`m using plugin MarkerWithLabel for V3. You can download js file here (download and put both in your html).

I used it and works very fine!

Post here when you get it and if you need more help :)

Yeah it works, I was under false impression that marker with label though works doesn't work with marker manager.

Gareth,

Try the MapLabel library:

Fantastic if your target browser supports Canvas.

Great extension, canvas is proving to be the way forward for performance, and many of us no longer care to support ie8. One question though, I'm wondering if you considered and/or testing the idea of making this extension with a single canvas layer and adding the labels to that , rather than creating many canvases, and what if any, were the performance implications. 
Thanks-
