Thanks Esa. Actually I've worked a lot with FT layers and must agree. The reason I was looking into this was because, by generating the markers rather than in an FT layer, I was able to give them titles (equivalent to title="" in anchor tags). Other marker mouseover effects could also be set.
If you know of a solution to show titles — something I think is helpful for a user when trying to decide if a marker is relevant to them, and hence open the info window - I'd love to hear your thoughts. Likewise, I'd be greatly if you or indeed anybody could answer this: in my original example using the google Viz API, is there a way to skip the geocode step altogether assuming I already have the LatLng coordinates in my Fusion Table?
