Show infoWindow without marker?

[3D-kreativ]

Hi, I just wonder if it's possible to show an infoWindow without a
marker? And how that is done? Thanks!

Have you tried the documentation? (just be sure to specify a position,
and don't give it an anchor...)

except from .open()
Optionally, an InfoWindow can be associated with an anchor. In the
core API, the only anchor is the Marker class.


http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/javascript/reference.html#InfoWindow

InfoWindow(opts?:InfoWindowOptions)

Creates an info window with the given options. An InfoWindow can be
placed on a map at a particular position or above a marker, depending
on what is specified in the options. Unless auto-pan is disabled, an
InfoWindow will pan the map to make itself visible when it is opened.
After constructing an InfoWindow, you must call open to display it on
the map. The user can click the close button on the InfoWindow to
remove it from the map, or the developer can call close() for the same
effect.

open(map:Map|StreetViewPanorama, anchor?:MVCObject)
None
Opens this InfoWindow on the given map. Optionally, an InfoWindow can
be associated with an anchor. In the core API, the only anchor is the
Marker class. However, an anchor can be any MVCObject that exposes the
position property and optionally pixelBounds for calculating the
pixelOffset (see InfoWindowOptions).

Ok, Thanks! Is there any more examples? The code looks very
complicated! Or perhaps I'm to tired.....

Preciate if you any other links with some simplier code. Thanks!

Polygons are't anchors, the infowindows here are effectively on the
map (and there aren't any markers...)

(click on a polygon/square)

Nice example, but the code look very complicated! My goal was to have
an infoWindow open without any clicking when the map start. There must
be some example that is a little bit simplier?

During the initialization of your page when you are done defining the map and everything trigger the infowindow opening like they did in the examples he linked you during the marker/polygon click event and you have it.

Use:

infowindow.setContent(contentString);

To set the content of the infowindow.

Use:

infowindow.setPosition(point);

To set the position of where you wish to display the inowindow.

Use:

infowindow.open(map);

To open the infowindow on your map at the position you defined above and with the content you defined before that.

This simple enough?
