在自定义标记悬停时显示工具提示

Question

I have the following Google Map test: http://jsfiddle.net/gM6Z6/

As you can see it gets your position and then shows it on the map using three markers.

What I want to do is when a user hovers over any of the three markers, I want to show the following tooltip NEXT to the marker avatar:

var tooltipOptions={
    marker:marker,
    content: "You're here!",
    cssClass:'tooltip'
};
var tooltip = new Tooltip(tooltipOptions);

I'm not sure how to best do this, as I need this to work for all three markers, and be in the same position regardless of which marker was hovered. It should ALWAYS appear next to the avatar like in the foursquare screenshot below BUT should move to the left or right dependant on the position of the icon on screen to allow it to fit.

Can anyone help? As the docs are a little vague for my liking on this... I can create the tooltip but I'm confused how best to show it for all three markers but in the same position and viewport aware.

Here you go:

http://jsfiddle.net/nickaknudson/KVa2d/

tooltip = new Tooltip("text");
...
tooltip.open(map, marker);

Customizable via CSS.

UPDATE 3

Better positioning using outerWidth() and outerHeight() to take borders etc into account. Removed shadow div.

You can use the mouseover event to display your tooltip. (See events doc here ). You only need to show it for marker2 since it has the highest zIndex value.

google.maps.event.addListener(marker2, 'mouseout', function() {
});

Here's a jsFiddle displaying a tooltip using InfoWindow . You don't have the tooltip code in your example. Can you update your example using the tooltip you created?
