Adding a Description to a Marker

Monday September 1, 2008
What does a marker actually mark?

Placing a marker on your Google Map isn't much use if your visitors don't know what it is that is being marked. By adding a description to a marker we can identify just why we have placed that marker on our map. Google give us a choice of two ways to add the description using a single line of JavaScript - one to display on the map at the start and the other to display only when the marker is clicked on.
