Oh , really great , that’s what i am looking for.
But i have a question , can we modify this class so that it has rounded corners and it can be crossed the map boundries , just like the yelp style google map info window.

Seems to work fairly well. You may want to remove the memory leak moving the mouseout event binding outside the mouseover function. Right now it keeps adding mouseout events.

Hey! Tnx a lot for this script!

Found one more bug. When I zoom in map, tooltip wont dissappear after I move mouse out of polygon. It shows some kind of “Uncaught TypeError: Cannot call method ‘removeChild’ of null. MapTooltip.remove” in mapTooltip.js 108 row. + it drops some errors from main.js, so it seems like it’s kind of problem with API too.

my test map (will be there for a while):

map js: http://www.amazing-latvia.lv/test/map.js
xml: http://www.amazing-latvia.lv/test/daugavpils.xml

Thanks a lot. This is a great tool. I am able to use it. I have one issue when using it with an map that does have the dragging capability (map.disableDragging()). This tooltip code somehow overrides it. Do you have any idea how to disable the pan icon to prevent the dragging from happening. Thanks

Tyler: I’m glad to hear that you find it useful.

I suggest that we file a bug report to the Google Maps API. It would be sweet if they could fix that so that it works in newer versions of the API.

Even with 50 polygons it still works like a charm – as long as we stick to v2.149

It’s actually not your script – it a appears to be bug in the latest API.

I already had this exact same problem when simply trying to use the following single line in the mouseover event: polygon.style.cursor = “pointer”;

I tried version 3 and the problem is still there.
So it looks for now, like we’re stuck with 2.149.

Any progress on getting your tooltips working beyond version 2.149? Many useful new features have been added to maps api. Up to version 2.172 and 3.11…
Thanks though!
