Posting my own solution (thanks to Eben Roux)...
var myMapOverlay;
MapOverlay.prototype = new google.maps.OverlayView();
MapOverlay.prototype.onAdd = function() { }
MapOverlay.prototype.onRemove = function() { }
MapOverlay.prototype.draw = function() { }
function MapOverlay(gmap) { this.setMap(gmap); }
in an onLoad call...
myMapOverlay = new MapOverlay(gmap);
Where you want the data...
var myPoint = new google.maps.Point(x,y);
var myLatLng =
myMapOverlay.getProjection().fromContainerPixelToLatLng(myPoint);
Thanks for trying to help Marcelo.
