I've created this: http://strucke.com/provinggrounds/jqueryGmaps/defect.html
I've found a very odd defect: If you have two markers, with identical coordinates (which happens quite often in the application I'm using this for), the underlying marker (and infowindow) stays hidden, and the infowindow will not show. I've been battling this, thinking I may be able to somehow increase the zindex, of at lease the infowindow, onclick / mouseover — but without success. Example: markers 1 & 2 have the same coords: http://strucke.com/provinggrounds/jqueryGmaps/defect.html Other than a zindex fix, I noticed if the coords are slightly different — not identical — the mouseover / click works again. However, the underlying icon is still obscured. I guess that would still be better than nothing, but I'm not sure if there is a way to do that with JS either.. Then... I came acrss this.. http://mihomes.com/Find-Your-New-Home/Charlotte-Homes I'm not sure if this map iteration fixed the identical coords issue, but if you zoom way out, it sure looks like they have the zindex issue figured out. I've been diggin into their code, and looking for other solutions, I'm lost on this one.
