It is basically calling the create marker function to assign the name as a title.
There are several ways of doing this, this is one of those. Basically you declare marker . You then declare marker as being equal to what you are doing in your createMarker function. In the createMarker function you are creating a new google.maps.Marker with the options defined in the function. Marker is now the resulting marker that was created in the createMarker function. That make sense?
