If you hover over a Google map marker you should get a tool-tip pop-up displaying the marker's 'title' property.
In Firefox this is unreliable - typically it appears when you hover over the first marker but not on most subsequent hoverings over other markers.
(The bug can be 'reset' if you mouse-off the map and then back on again.)
The problem seems to be worse if the markers are closer together.

Not sure if there is any work-around until the bug is fixed?

My platform: Windows7 64-bit.
Fault observed in: Firefox 8, Firefox 3.6
No fault in MSIE8

You filed this under ApiType-Javascript3, but mentioned the GMap2 object in your
description.

Which API version are you referring to, v2 or v3?

Marked as fixed, reassigned to cb...@google.com.

Hi,

The current version I'm working with is v2 however the request was for the feature
within the v3 release.

Thanks,
Adam.

So would this new 'tilesloaded' feature be part of the OverlayView class?

If you're creating your own custom overlay, could you create your own mechanism for
firing off an event or method after it gets drawn?

Hi,

Sorry for the delay in response, I'm only just back after a break.

There is currently a 'tilesloaded' event which is available on the GMap2 class
however this really could relate more to the overlay classes rather than the map.

That way we could manage any actions on the completion of each custom tile layer
render. Either that or provide the ability to include all custom tile layers within
the existing 'tilesloaded' GMap2 event.

I've looked at building it manually however I can't see any 'pretty' way of doing
it, and since it would be useful functionality within the Google Maps API I thought
I'd try you guys first. :)

Thanks again,
Adam.

I've just has another quick search on this group and found a relating ticket:

Once again, are you requesting this for the v2 or v3 API?

sp...@gmail.com <sp...@gmail.com> #8Sep 19, 2012 02:42PM

I've answered that previously in the ticket. At the very least v3 but if v2 is still having features developed
on it then it would also be of benefit there.

Got it. You keep mentioning the v2 API GMap2 object in your description, it was a
bit confusing.

Filed your request against v3.

Hello,

here you can see my solution for V3 "tilesloaded" event (for custom tiles).

http://code.google.com/p/gmaps-api-issues/issues/detail?id=372#c19

My solution shows loading spinner image when tile is in loading state (for each tile separately).

Tested this with ff 38 on both Linux (Kubuntu 14.04) and Windows 8.1. Changing the zoom level or focus on the map displays the marker title but only on the first marker hovered.

Same problem with ff 43.0.1 and the last stable api release, it's not fixed!
