You can try James or Chad proposal. If you have a lot of markers you can also have a look to maptimize (http://v2.maptimize.com). I know it's not open-source and not free (we have a free account).
We are compatible google maps V2 andV3. You'll be also able to filter your map by projects/tags in real-time without reload the page. You can contact me, we can extend the free account for your service. I do also open source projects and it will be a pleasure to help.
