This is one solution I have seen: http://groups.google.com/group/google-maps-js-api-v3/browse_frm/thread/f53eb613af7dbec0# The other options are: 1. tabbed infoWindows, one tab per contact (problematic if you have dozens at the same location) 2. processing the locations to combine the information in the infowindow for markers at the same location so there is only one marker 3. adding a random offset to the markers so all the markers are "clickable" (they are not on top of each other. -- Larry > > Thanks, truly appreciated! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps JavaScript API v3" group.
