Have just one InfoWindow open in Google Maps API v3

Question

I need to have only one InfoWindow open on my Google Map. I need to close all other InfoWindows before I open a new one.

Can someone show me how to do this?

Answer 1

You need to keep track of your previous InfoWindow object and call the close method on it when you handle the click event on a new marker.

N.B It is not necessary to call close on the shared info window object, calling open with a different marker will automatically close the original. See Daniel's answer for details.
