With Internet Explorer ... All goes well:
1. The Title is ALWAYS shown
2. It goes 3 times faster.

You mean tooltips that show up with some of the images.  Those are not
called titles.  It seems to be very picky about where you place the
cursor.  It has to be exact, or no tooltip shows up.

It's titles .. look at the source ---> title: 'Après-midi-sympa
3090-Tombeek',
and because it's recognised as that reserved word by

"https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js
<view-source:https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js>"

It has not to be exact because:
- When the cursor change to a hand ... the text must be shown.
- It works perfectly with Internet Explorer.
- It works better after i decrease drastically the number of "errors"
detected by W3C.

It work just fine <http://www.littleworksstudio.com/temp/usenet/tooltip>

However, the TITLE attribute on HTML elements "behavior" may vary from useragent to useragent.

<http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/struct/global.html#adef-title>
"Values of the title attribute may be rendered by user agents in a variety of ways. For instance, visual browsers frequently display the title as a "tool tip" (a short message that appears when the pointing device pauses over an object). Audio user agents may speak the title information in a similar context. For example, setting the attribute on a link allows user agents (visual and non-visual) to tell users about the nature of the linked resource"

Whether or not tooltip is display, for how long, and how much text that they can contain you really cannot depend on being consistent. So it is a bad idea to rely on it for *important* content.

Next your "pins" are very close together and even overlap so it can be a factor the quirkiness. Plus MSIE event model is different from other browsers which could also be a factor.

Maybe better to use a CSS or JavaScript "tooltip" which would give you more control over the tip. <http://csstooltip.com/>
