Google Maps JS: How do I get the small tooltip marker on hover AND the normal info window on click?

Question

So check any google maps result like this: http://g.co/maps/htdva

If you hover over a marker, you get the tooltip. If you click it you get the big infowindow. I've got the infowindow working just fine via: this stackoverflow answer

Here's a picture of both the mini tooltip and the infowindow:

Here is a jsFiddle demo: http://jsfiddle.net/3VMPL/

Answer 1

Set the title property of the marker to the tooltip you want.

var tooltip = "some text";
marker = new google.maps.Marker({map:map, position:position, title:tooltip});

Answer 2

I think what you want can be found here:

https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/examples/infowindow-simple

// This example displays a marker at the center of Australia.
// When the user clicks the marker, an info window opens.

function initialize() {
  var myLatlng = new google.maps.LatLng(-25.363882,131.044922);
  var mapOptions = {
    zoom: 4,
    center: myLatlng
  };

  var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map-canvas'), mapOptions);

  var contentString = '<div id="content">'+
      '<div id="siteNotice">'+
      '</div>'+
      '<h1 id="firstHeading" class="firstHeading">Uluru</h1>'+
      '<div id="bodyContent">'+
      '<p><b>Uluru</b>, also referred to as <b>Ayers Rock</b>, is a large ' +
      'sandstone rock formation in the southern part of the '+
      'Northern Territory, central Australia. It lies 335&#160;km (208&#160;mi) '+
      'south west of the nearest large town, Alice Springs; 450&#160;km '+

      'sacred to the Pitjantjatjara and Yankunytjatjara, the '+

      'rock caves and ancient paintings. Uluru is listed as a World '+

      '(last visited June 22, 2009).</p>'+
      '</div>'+
      '</div>';

  var infowindow = new google.maps.InfoWindow({
      content: contentString
  });

  var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
      position: myLatlng,
      map: map,
      title: 'Uluru (Ayers Rock)'
  });
  google.maps.event.addListener(marker, 'click', function() {
    infowindow.open(map,marker);
  });
}

google.maps.event.addDomListener(window, 'load', initialize);

You can do it with CSS only, but be warned that it's pretty hacky and can stop working any time if Google changes its markup:

.gmnoprint[title] {
  overflow: visible !important;
  opacity: 1 !important;
}

.gmnoprint[title]:after {
  content: attr(title);
  /* Style your tooltip */
}
