Marker labels

[Kurteknikk]

I really need to have labeled markers in this application i'm doing.
My problem is that i'm using API v3 and its a must so i need to have a
solution to have a labeled marker in google maps api v3.

I'm still not sure howcome such simple functionality is not available
by default, like for example apart from title, each marker will just
have a label property which will hold html so it will be easily
styleable using css.

I would like to get more information about this, maybe if there's a
reason why its not included, and at least how can i achieve this
result using gmaps api v3, thanks.

Hi Marc,

I thought your labels are more looking like tooltips, so I quickly
made real tooltips out of your code which I will need later on.

The position of the tooltips is just a bit static and only for the
default markers...

Thanks.

Check out my new MarkerWithLabel class. You can find a pointer to it
at the bottom of this page:

Greetings,

Firebug is issuing the following error when I try to use your class...
this[vb] is not a function

Heres my code:
var marker = new MarkerWithLabel({
position: new google.maps.LatLng(item.lat, item.lon),
map: map,
title: item.name,
shadow: new google.maps.MarkerImage("/media/image/vendor/map/marker-
shadow.png",new google.maps.Size(65,78)),
icon: new google.maps.MarkerImage("/media/image/vendor/map/
marker-"+item.rootInt+".png",new google.maps.Size(65,78)),
labelContent: "4",
labelAnchor: new google.maps.Point(3, 30),
labelClass: "labels",
labelInBackground: false
});

I'm at a loss. Any help is appreciated.

Christ! It would help if I loaded google maps before loading in your
class. Amateur move.
