KML tooltips in GoogleEarth version 3

[KevinJ]

Has anyone solved the problem of displaying tooltips in googleMaps?

I can implement placemark tooltips using StyleMaps for GoogleEarth and
it works fine. However, GoogleMaps v3 does not support StyleMaps or
labelling from the Placemark Name.

I have been searching for a while but have not been able to find a
good solution
- I've seen recommendations to use a different parser (such as GeoXML)
and modify it to meet my needs but those parsers all target GoogleMaps
v2 so first I would have to rewrite the parser to target v3.
- I've seen recommendations for 3rd party controls none of which seem
to have been rewritten for v3 yet.

Currently, the only solution I see is to write to seperate products
1) KML generation for display in GoogleEarth
2) Don't use KML in GoogleMap on customer's web page but do all
Placemark placement on map with javascript using the v3 api

Can anyone give me any better ideas?

Maybe you didn't search in the v3 support group
