Hello there, I've implemented a whole custom map (with my own personal world map and all that) and worked out a complete marker support and all that with relative ease in JavaScript. Seeing it's still something I'm trying to keep hidden, I'm not able to post any link to it sadly enough, but I don't think it'll be needed in this request.
But I ran into a problem: I'd love to add text directly on that world map. The text would depict the names of the different places in that world. As you can imagine, forcing people to click on or hover over markers first to see what the exact name of that location is, isn't really acceptable. My first thought was implementing an own GOverlay or perhaps extending the GMarker (because that would save me time trying to get the coordinates stuff right). Another solution I deem possible is having PHP generate transparent images that show the names of these locations and put these as Icon on a GMarker. And my last idea of a solution would be adding a text layer on the base image I'm using for showing the world map and keeping the text hard-coded on the images at the different zoom levels. But before I even start attempting these ideas I'm wondering: is there an easier solution that I seem to be overlooking? Basically it'd just need to be a div or span that can display text or a link without needing to be clicked on.
