This is a feature request for the ability to change the z-Index of markers when a mouseover event occurs. To illustrate this issue please look at http://esa.ilmari.googlepages.com/ZMarker2.htm You can see that if there are too many icons it is difficult to see if were stacked over each other. This is even more relevant if the icons have some information on it (e.g. with LabedMarkers). If you look at http://www.kreisalarm.de/drkmap (zoom in to see even more examples) you will find a solution where the label (marker) which receives the mouseover event will be put in the foreground so its content can be read. So please extend the API for "getZIndex" and "setZIndex" methods so that this behaviour can be used without hacks. Jörn |

Reported, and re-titled to be a bit clearer. You can keep using your hack, but I'd suggest checking it once a week to make sure it still works.

I've also had to implement this sort of hack and have been checking it daily as the object reference shifts. I would love to see z-index getters and setters on the markers. Is there a way to be notified whenever the API is updated? Thanks, Josh |

Also the explanation in the reference is not complete. "This function is used for changing the z-Index order of the markers when they are overlaid on the map and is also called when their infowindow is opened." It does not mention that the zIndexProcess function is also called when the infowindow is closed. That makes using the function very difficult. |

This feature would definitely make my life a lot easier. The API is really lacking in the 'stacking order control' department. |

Current API allows changing only the following characteristics of a GMarker object after it's been created: position (setLatLong), foreground icon (setImage) and an InfoWindow content. But sometimes when the position of the marker is changed it appears underneath other shapes on the map and that requires z-index adjustment which is currently impossible to do. Having the abitlity to adjust a z-index of a GMarker would really improve flexibility of the API and make developers' job much easier. |

As a workaround, you can create your own marker and implement z-index changing with that. Here's example code: http://gmaps-samples.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/photolayer/markerlight.js |

Just noticed that setLatLng() and even dragging a draggable marker will trigger zIndexProcess too. http://esa.ilmari.googlepages.com/zindexprocess.htm |
